Question

A loan is being repaid with 20 annual payments of $180 each. At the time of the 5th payment, the borrower is allowed to pay an extra $300 and to repay the remaining outstanding balance over the next 11 years with revised level annual payments. If the effective interest rate is 4%, how much interest did the borrower save by making the additional payment and shortening the loan? (Note; this is the total dollar amount of interest saved; not the present value or accumulated value of the interest saved.) (Answer: $263.80)
