Problem 2
A loan is amortized over n years with annual payments of 180 at the end of each year. After the n2 th
payment, the outstanding balance is 75% of the amount of the loan. (Assume n is an even integer.)

A $8,000 loan is being repaid by payments of $100 each at the end of each month for as long as
necessary, plus a smaller final payment. If the nominal rate of interest convertible monthly is 12%,
find the amount of interest in the 50th payment.
A) $66.30
B) $66.78
C) $67.10
D) $67.43
E) $67.76
Solution. First, n > 50. Indeed, if payments are 100, then

Complete the sinking fund schedule for a loan of $10,000 at 3% per annum for which the borrower
repays the interest on the loan at the end of each year and deposits a level amount (also at the end
of each year) necessary to repay the principal at the end of 4 years into a sinking fund which earns
4% per annum.

Problem 7
Helen borrows 1,000 for 5 years at a nominal annual rate of 6% convertible monthly. At the end of
each month, she pays the interest on the loan and deposits the level amount necessary to repay the
principal to a sinking fund earning a nominal annual rate of j% convertible monthly. The total of all
interest payments and sinking fund deposits made by Helen over the 5-year period is 1200. Determine
j, rounded to at least three decimal places.

A 10-year loan may be repaid under the following two methods:
(1) amortization method with equal annual payments of X at the end of each year at an annual
effective rate of 6%
(2) sinking fund method in which the lender receives interest payments I at the end of each year
at an annual effective rate of 7%. Also, at the end of each year, level deposits of D are made
into a sinking fund which accumulates at an annual effective rate of j.
If X = I + D, calculate j.

Howard repays a loan of $20,000 by establishing a sinking fund and making 30 equal payments at
the end of each year. The sinking fund earns 5% effective annually. Immediately after the seventh
payment, the yield on the sinking fund increases to 7% effective annually. At that time Howard
adjusts his sinking fund payment to Z so that the sinking fund will accumulate to $20,000 30 years
after the original loan date. Determine Z.
Solution. The original sinking fund payment is
Xs30 5% = 20,000 ⇒ X = 301.0287
Balance in the account after the 7th payment: Xs7 5% = 301.0287 · s7 5% = 2450.98. Thus, Joe still
needs to collect:
20,000 − 2450.98 = 17,549.02
With the new interest rate of 7%:
Zs23 7% + 2450.98 · 1.0723 = 20,000
Zs23 7% = 8381.064 ⇒ Z = 156.8426 ≈ 156.84 Copyright ©Natalia A. Humphreys, 2014
