Explanation / Answer

EMI = P × r × (1 + r) n / {(1 + r)n - 1 }

Where,

P = Principal = $ 35,000

r = rate of interest = 10 % p.a. or 0.10/2 = 0.05 semiannually

n = No. of periods = 10 years x 2 = 20 periods

Equal semiannual payment = $ 35,000 x 0.05 x (1 + 0.05)20 / {(1 + 0.05) 20 -1}

= $ 35,000 x 0.05 x (1.05)20 / {(1.05) 20 -1}

                                                         = $ 35,000 x 0.05 x 2.653297705/ (2.653297705-1)

                                                         = $ 35,000 x 0.05 x 2.653297705/1.653297705

                                                         = $ 35,000 x 0.05 x 1.604851744

                                                         = $ 2,808.490552 or $ 2,808.49

a.

Amount of each payment Jan received is $ 2,808.49

b.

Interest in first payment = $ 35,000 x 0.05 = $ 1,750

c.

Principal repayment = $ 2,808.49 - $ 1,750 = $ 1,058.49

d.

Principal of the loan goes on decreasing as loan period proceeds.

So interest amount goes on decreasing for this diminished principal. As each payment are constant, for every successive payment, contribution towards principal goes on increasing.

Hence option I “The portion of payment that is applied to interest declines, while the portion of the payment that is applied to principal increasing” is correct answer.

c.

Interest for 2nd payment = Remaining principal x rate of interest

                                             = ($ 35,000 – $ 1,058.49) x 0.05

                                             = $ 33,941.50 x 0.05 = $ 1697.08

Interest on loan for first year = $ 1,750 + $ 1,697.08 = $ 3,447.08

No, interest will be different for next year.

d.

Some part of the installment goes to principal, which results to decrease in principal on every successive payment. So interest amount goes on decreasing accordingly. On progression of loan period, contribution towards interest decreases and principal goes on increasing.

So for the constant payment, interest income changes over time.

Option IInd “As the loan is amortized (paid-off), the beginning balance, hence the interest charge, decline and the repayment of principal increases.” is correct answer.
