You receive a 3-year $23,000 loan with an interest rate of 13% p.a., to be repaid in three annual installments. The loan requires that you make two equal total payments of $2,000 at t = 1 and t = 2, with the remaining loan balance paid at maturity. What is the total payment amount at t = 3, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Total payment at t=3 = $25108.70
The amount is greater than the initial loan amount since the first two payments are not even sufficient to cover the interest due.
Year | Opening Balance | Annual payment | Principal Paid | Interest |

2 | $23,990.00 | $2,000.00 | ($1,118.70) | 3118.7 |
3 | $25,108.70 |
