You borrow $24,000 . The loan is to be repaid in 60 equal monthly installments at an annual interest rate of 6.0 percent. What percentage of your first month's payment is interest?
The question is solved by first solving the monthly payment.
Information provided:
Present value= $24,000
Time= 60 months
Interest rate= 6%/12= 0.50% per month
The monthly payment is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
PV= -24,000
N= 60
I/Y= 0.50
Press the CPT key and PMT to compute the monthly payment.
The value obtained is 463.99.
Therefore, the monthly payment is $463.99
First month's payment= 0.50*463.99
= $231.99.
Percentage of interest in first month's payment= $231.99/ $463.99*100
= 0.50*100
= 50%.
