Explanation : To find the annuity value we use following formula
Where,
PV = Initial Amount OR Initial Deposit
OR Initial Investment OR Amount at time
zero
A = Regular Withdrawal Amount OR Regular
Interest OR Regular Dividend OR Installment
Amount
n = Number of Years/Period
r = Compound Interest Rate
r(p)=Annual Nominal Rate of
Interest
Given :
Number of Periods/Years (n) =6
Rate Of Interest (r(12))
=4%
Present Value (PV) = $120000
Calculating Effective Interest Rate
Effective Interest can be calculated by following formula,
where
r=Effective Rate of Interest
r(p)=Nominal rate of interest
compounded p- times a year
Therefore,
After substituting the values into the formula we have,
.
Amount paid monthly
The amount paid monthly is $1877.42197.
