Emily Morrison purchased a new house for $190,000. She paid $40,000 upfront and agreed to pay the rest over the next 10 years in 10 equal annual payments that include principal payments plus 12 percent compound interest on the unpaid balance. What will these equal payments be?
a. Emily Morrison purchased a new house for $190,000 and paid $40,000 upfront. How much does she need to borrow to purchase the house?
a.Borrowings=(190,000-40,000)=$150,000
b.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
150,000=Annuity[1-(1.12)^-10]/0.12
150,000=Annuity*5.65022303
Annuity=150,000/5.65022303
=$26547.62(Approx)
