Answer:
125,200
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Loan amount (P) = 500,000
Annual effective interest (r) = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08
n = 5 (5th payment) = final payment
Using the relation :
Payment amount per period :
A = (P(1 + r)^n * r) ÷ (1 + r)^n – 1
A = (500000(1 + 0.08)^5 * 0.08) / (1 + 0.08)^5 – 1
A = 40000(1.08)^5 / 1.08^5 – 1
A = 40000(1.4693280768) / 1.4693280768 – 1
A = 58773.123072 / 0.4693280768
A = 125228.22
A = 125,200 ( nearest hundred)
