you lend a friend $800 anf they agree to make quarterly payments for 1 year. You charge your friend 8.52% compounded quarterly. What is the size of payments?
have not worked with annuity....only Present value
I thought formula was PV=FV(1+i)^-4
800((1+.0213)^4
800(1.087961)
870.37
870.37 devided by 4
so four equal payments of 217.59
If you're careful, you can "walk" your way through this one.
But wear your hiking boots, it's a long walk.
You lend a friend $800 and they agree to make quarterly payments for one year.
You charge your friend 8.52% compounded quarterly. .What is the size of payments?
Let \(\displaystyle P\) = the principal, $800.
Let \(\displaystyle i\) = the interest rate, \(\displaystyle \frac{0.0852}{4} = 0.0213\)
Let \(\displaystyle X\) = the quarterly payment
Note: If he owes \(\displaystyle D\) dollars at the beginning of a quarter, . . . . at the end of the quarter, he will owe: \(\displaystyle D + Di \,=\,D(1+i)\) dollars.
At the beginning of the year, he owes you \(\displaystyle P\) dollars.
End of 1st quarter:
With interest, he owes: .\(\displaystyle P(1+i)\) dollars.
He repays \(\displaystyle X\) dollars.
His balance is: .\(\displaystyle P(1+i) - X\) dollars.
End of 2nd quarter:
With interest, he owes:. \(\displaystyle \big[P(1+i) - X\big](1+i)\) . . \(\displaystyle =\(1+i)^2 -X(1+i)\) dollars.
He repays \(\displaystyle X\) dollars.
His balance is: .\(\displaystyle P(1+i)^2 - X(1+i) - X\) dollars.
End of 3rd quarter:
With interest, he owes: .\(\displaystyle \big[P(1+i)^2 - X(1+i) - X\big](1+i)\) . . \(\displaystyle =\(1+i)^3 - X(1+i)^2 - X(1+i)\) dollars.
He repays \(\displaystyle X\) dollars.
His balance is: .\(\displaystyle P(1+i)^3 - X(1+i)^2 - X(1+i) - X\) dollars.
End of 4th quarter:
With interest, he owes: .\(\displaystyle \big[P(1+i)^3 - X(1+i)^2 - X(1+i) - X\big](1+i)\) . . \(\displaystyle -\(1+i)^4 - X(1+i)^3 - X(1+i)^2 - X(1+i)\) dollars.
He repays \(\displaystyle X\) dollars.
His balance is: .\(\displaystyle P(1+i)^4 - X(1+i)^3 - X(1+i)^2 - X(1+i) - X\) dollars.
But at this time, he has completey repaid the loan; his balance is zero.
Denis we are not into annuity as of yet however we may get into it.
after reading both the explainations I now have a further understand but Soroban explained it as we are learning
FV=x+E4+E3+E2+E1
So your both right and you both helped me understand.
