A firm has borrowed $5,000,000 for 3 years at 10% interest, compounded annually. It makes no payments until the loan is due, and then pays the loan off as a lump sum. What is the payoff amount at the end of year 3?

Answer:

$6,655,000

Explanation:

[tex]A = P(1\ +\ r)^{n}[/tex]

wherein, A= Amount

              P= Principal

              R= Rate of interest per annum

              n = term to maturity

Pay off amount at the end of year 3 = $5,000,000[tex](1\ +\ .10)^{3}[/tex]

Amount = $5,000,000 × 1.331 =  $ 6,655,000

Amount due of a borrowing is equal to the money borrowed initially compounded at a rate of interest for a known period.

Above. rate of interest is 10%, since the money has been repaid only upon due date, three year compounding of the said sum at 10% per annum rate of interest yields the payoff amount which is $6,655,000
