A business will take out a 10-year loan of $250,000. The interest rate is 10% per year and the loan calls for equal annual payments. How much principal is paid in the 2nd year?
Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
250,000=Annuity[1-(1.1)^-10]/0.1
250,000=Annuity*6.144567106
Annuity=250,000/6.144567106
=$40686.34872(Approx)
Interest payment for 1st year=$250,000*10%=$25000
Hence Principal repayment for 1st year=(40686.34872-25000)=$15686.34872
Hence balance due at end of first year=(250,000-$15686.34872)=$234,313.6513
Interest repayment for 2nd year=$234,313.6513*10%
$23,431.36513
Hence Principal repayment for 2nd year =$40686.34872-$23,431.36513
=$17254.98(Approx).
