A real estate developer offers to sell you some prime real estate for $563,000 today. You agree to pay $234,000 in exactly 8 months and the remaining balance in exactly 18 months from today when you expect to receive some cash from a different investment. How much will you need to pay the developer in 18 months if the interest rate is 5.3% per annum compounding monthly (rounded to the nearest dollar; don’t show $ sign or commas)?
Monthly interest rate = 5.3%/12 = 0.004416666667
Value of investment today = $563,000
Value of investment in 8 months = Value of investment today * (1 + r)^8
Value of investment in 8 months = 563,000 * (1 + 0.004416666667)^8
Value of investment in 8 months = $583,202.905505874
Of this we agree pay $234,000 in 8 months.
The balance after making payment is 583,202.905505874 - 234,000 = $349,202.905505874
The balance amount after 18 months = 349,202.905505874 * (1 + r)^(18 - 8)
The balance amount after 18 months = 349,202.905505874 * (1 + 0.004416666667)^10
The balance amount after 18 months = $364,936.206859
We will need ot pay the developer $364,936 in 18 months
