Explanation / Answer



1. A = PNR/100 +P

= 10000*0.5*7.75/100 + 10000

= 10387.5

2. Amount paid = 425.6*4 = 1702.4

Interest paid = 1702.4-1400 = 302.4

302.4 = PNR/100 = 1400*1*R/100

R = 21.6%

3. Image (effective APR)

6.16%

4. A = P(1+i/4)^4n

A = 6000(1+6.75/400)^20

= 8385   

For continuous compounding, r = exp(i) -1

R = 6.98

A = 6000(1+.0698)^5

= 8408.64



5 2ln(1+5.25/2) = 2.58
