A printing firm borrows $50,000 to purchase a new printing machine. Under the loan agreement, the firm will make 12 equal monthly repayments with the first repayment made 6 months after the loan amount is transferred to the firms bank account. If the rate of interest charged on the loan is 12% per annum compounded monthly, what amount will be each of the 12 monthly repayments?

 

Thanks in Advance

Inital loan = $50000, interest rate = 1% per month = 0.01

 

The loan accrues interest for 5 months before the repayment period starts.

 

Futurevaluewithcompoundinterest=P(1+i)n

 

Effective loan = 50000(1.01)^5 = $52550.50

 

Now it is a present value of an ordinary annuity problem,

 

PV=R×1(1+i)ni

 

PV=R×1(1+i)ni52550.50=R×1(1.01)120.0152550.50×0.011(1.01)12=RR=$4669.05Each monthly payment will be $4669.05
