a. Mr. Bill S. Preston, Esq., purchased a new house for $120,000 and paid $30,000 upfront. How much does he need to borrow to purchase the house?
a.Borrowings=(120,000-30,000)=$90,000
b.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
90,000=Annuity[1-(1.08)^-10]/0.08
90,000=Annuity*6.7100814
Annuity=90,000/6.7100814
=$13412.65(Approx)
