A demand loan of $8000.00 is repaid by payments of $3500.00 after two years, $3500.00 after four years, and a final payment after eight years. Interest is 7% compounded monthly for the first 2 years, 8% compounded semi-annually for the next two years, and 8% compounded quarterly thereafter. What is the size of the final payment?
Demand Loan = $8,000.00
- First payment is repaid after two years = $3500
Interest is compounded monthly for first 2 years at 7%
Loan balance with interest after 2 years = 8000(1+0.07/12)2*12
= $ 9198.45
Loan balance after first repayment = $ 9198.45 - $3500
= $ 5,698.45
- Second payment is repaid after next two years = $3500
Interest is compounded semiannually for next 2 year at 8%
Loan balance with interest for next 2 years = $ 5698.45(1+0.08/2)2*2
= $ 6666.38
Loan balance after second repayment = $6666.38 - $3500
= $ 3,166.38
- After that Interest is compounded quarterly for last four years at 8%
Loan balance with interest for last 4 years = $ 3166.38(1+0.08/4)4*4
= $ 4346.76
So, the size of last payment is $ 4346.76
