A businessman receives a $15,000 loan on Jan 1st. He is charged a 6% interest per year. His loan is for three years. He is expected to make monthly payments except for every April. Interest is still accruing even though no payment is made in April. What are his monthly payments?
This question confuses me because if I use the standard formula to calculate payments it doesn't account for the fact that interest is still accruing even though no payment is made every April. monthly payment= [rate+ (rate/((1+rate)^months)-1) - principle. If i put 36 months, the calculation assumes I make every payment, if I put 33 payments(which is skipping every April) it doesn't calculate the interest for April.
