5.Calculate the present value of the annuity. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

$19,000 annually at 5% for 10 years.

Explanation / Answer

2) we have An = R * ( 1 - ( 1+ i) ^-n) / i

n = 12 * 25 = 300

i = 0.05/12 = 0.0042

so for An = 180000

180000 =  R * ( 1 - ( (1+ 0.0042) ^-300)) / 0.0042

R = monthly payment = $ 1056.46

After 6 years

number of payments left = n- k = (12*25) - (12*6) = 228

so to calculate unpaid balance

we use the expression

An-k =  R * ( 1 - ( 1+ i) ^-(n - k) ) / i

A n-k = 1056.46 * ( 1 - ( 1+ 0.0042) ^-(228) ) / 0.0042

Unpaid balance = A n-k = $ 154800.724 is the answer
