In first option: Annually interest payable will be= amount*ineterest rate= 150000*.08=12,000

And for 10 years total interest paid will be 12000*10=120,000

In second option: (please refer below table

(previous OS principal-15000)

Installment amount (c)

Total Interest Paid (total of column (c)): 66,000

Question a. Year 1 interest:

under option (1)= 12,000

under option (2)= 12,000

Ques b. Year 2 Interest:

under option (1)= 12,000

under option (2)= 10,800

Ques c.

In option one, there is no installment payment for principal. But interest will have to be paid annually. So there is less burden on year to year basis comparing to option 2. Calculation is also simple for interest calculation

In option two, less interst will be paid as annually principle repayment will be made. Therefore less cost for amount borrowing under option 2.
