You borrow $12,000 today. The loan will be repaid in annual payments over 10 years. If the interest rate on the loan is 7%, what is the amount of principal in the second payment?
1. Computation of Annual payment
Annual Payment = Loan Amount / Present value annuity factor(7%,10years)
Annual Payment = 12000 / 7.0236
Annual Payment = $1708.53
2. Interest amount in first payment = loan amount * 7% = 12000 * 7% = $840
3. Loan Balance after first annual payment = $12000 - (1708.53 - 840) = $11131.47
4. Interest amount in second payment = loan balance * 7% = 11131.47 * 7% = $779.20
5. The amount of principal in the second payment = Annual payment - Interest for 2nd years
The amount of principal in the second payment = 1708.53 - 779.20
The amount of principal in the second payment = $929.33
