Loan Amortization
GIVEN: A $12,000 4-year loan at 5%.
FIND for each year:
a. Annual loan payment
b. Beginning-of-year balance
.c. Annual interest
d. Annual principal
e. End-of-year balance
Loan Amount = $12,000
Time Period = 4 years
Interest Rate = 5%
Let Annual Payment be $x
$12,000 = $x/1.05 + $x/1.05^2 + $x/1.05^3 + $x/1.05^4
$12,000 = $x * (1 - (1/1.05)^4) / 0.05
$12,000 = $x * 3.545951
$x = $3,384.14
Annual Payment = $3,384.14
