8,000,000.00 | ||||
2018 | 2,992,881.00 | 480,000.00 | 2,512,881.00 | 5,487,119.00 |
2019 | 2,992,881.00 | 329,227.00 | 2,663,654.00 | 2,823,465.00 |
2020 | 2,992,881.00 | 169,416.00 | 2,823,465.00 | |
8,978,643.00 | 978,643.00 | 8,000,000.00 |
Calculations and explanations:
8,000,000/2.67301 (PVA of $1 for n = 3 and i = 6%) = 2,992,881. This is the installment payment.
So for 1st year i.e. 2018: cash payment = 2,992,881. Effective interest = 0.06*8,000,000 = 480,000. Thus balance reduction = 2,992,881-480,000 = 2,512,881. Similary calculations have been done for 2019 and 2020.
