A loan of $60,000 is due 10 years from today. The borrower wants to make annual payments at the end of each year into a sinking fund that will earn compound interest at an annual rate of 10 percent. What will the annual payments have to be?
Annual cash deposit can be computed using Formula for FV of annuity as:
FV = P x [(1+r) n/r]
P = FV/ [(1+r) n/r]
FV = Future value of annuity = $ 60,000
P = Periodic cash deposit
r = Periodic interest rate = 0.1
n = Number of periods = 10
P = $ 60,000/ [(1+0.1)10 - 1/0.1]
= $ 60,000/ [(1.1)10- 1/0.1]
= $ 60,000/ [(2.5937424601 – 1)/0.1]
= $ 60,000/ (1.5937424601 /0.1)
= $ 60,000/15.937424601
= $ 3,764.72369295069 or $ 3,764.72
Annual payment will have to be $ 3,764.72
