A borrower borrows on a five year loan $5,000 from a bank at 10% and will pay back the loan in five equal $ payments (annually) at the end of each time period. How much is each equal payment, how much principal and interest is paid back, and how much interest is paid back?
Ans:Amount of each equal installment = Loan Amount/ PVAF(10%, 5)
= 5000/3.79 = $ 1319
Note: PVAF= Present Value annuity factor= 3.79(it is derived from annuity table)
Principal Paid back = $ 5000
Interest is paid back = $ 1319*5 -5000 = $ 1595
