Calculate the total payback for a $3,500 loan at 8% annual interest with monthly payments for two years. Show all of your steps.

Use the formula, M = Pm(1 + m)^na/(1 + m)^na - 1, as needed.

Answer:

  $3,799.20

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume your formula is intended to be ...

  M = Pm(1 + m)^(na)/((1 + m)^(na) - 1)

where M is the monthly payment, m is the monthly interest rate, n is 12, and a is the number of years.

This formula gives ...

  M = 3500·(.08/12)·(1 + (.08/12))^(12·2)/((1 + (.08/12))^(12·2) -1) ≈ 158.30

The total payback will be the sum of 24 of these payments:

 payback = 24×$158.30 = $3,799.20

The total payback after 2 years is $3799.20.

Given

An amount of $3,500 loan at 8% annual interest with monthly payments for two years.

Monthly payback;

The formula is used to total payback is;

[tex]\rm M =\dfrac{Pm(1+m)^{na}}{(1+m)^{na}-1}[/tex]

Where M is the monthly payment, m is the monthly interest rate, n is 12, and a is the number of years.

Substitute all the values in the formula;

[tex]\rm M =\dfrac{Pm(1+m)^{na}}{(1+m)^{na}-1}\\\\ M =\dfrac{3500\times \dfrac{0.08}{12}(1+ \dfrac{0.08}{12})^{12\times 2}}{(1+ \dfrac{0.08}{12})^{12\times 2}-1}\\\\ M = \rm \dfrac{23.33\times 1.17}{1.17-1}\\\\M=\dfrac{27.29}{0.17}\\\\M=158.30[/tex]

Therefore,

The total payback will be;

[tex]= 158.30 \times 24\\\\=3,799.20[/tex]

Hence, the total payback after 2 years is $3799.20.
