Would you show the work on how you get the following answer for this problem.
You borrow $55,000 from a bank at an annual interest rate of 11%. The loan is to be repaid in 6 equal annual installments. What portion of the 3rd payment is interest?
The answer is $4,437
I am using the BA II Plus professional calculator.
I plugged in the following:
N is 6
I/Y is 11
PV is 55,000
FV is 0
First you need to find the annual payments:
Annual installments = 13,000.711
Keys to use in a financial calculator:
PV 55000
I/Y 11
N 6
CPT PMT
Year 1 interest = 55,000 * 0.11 = 6,050
Remaining year 1 principal = 13,000.711 - 6050 = 6,950.711
Remaining principal = 55,000 - 6,950.711 = 48,049.289
Year 2 interest = 48,049.289 * 0.11 = 5,285.4218
Remaining year 2 principal = 13,000.711 - 5,285.4218 = 7,715.2892
Remaining principal = 48,049.289 - 7,715.2892 = 40,333.9998
Year 3 interest = 40,333.9998 * 0.11 = 4,437
