You have a 20-year annuity with a present value of $575,000. If
the APR is 6%, what is
the monthly yield?
Select one:
a. None of these
b. $3761.26
c. $4439.18
d. $4119.48
e. $4325.67
Data given:
Time period (in years), t = 20 years
Number of periods, n = 12 x 20 = 240
Present value of annuity, P = $575000
Rate of interest or APR, R = 6%
Rate of interest per period, r = (R/12)% = (6/12)% = 0.5%
Amount of each monthly yield, M = ?
As we know, the formula for computing the present value of an ordinary annuity is given as -
where P - present value of annuity
M - amount of each annuity payment
r - rate of interest per period
n - number of payments or periods made in the duration
Using the above formula, we can calculate the monthly yield for the given annuity as -
Thus, the amount of monthly yield for the given annuity is approximately $4119.48 .
Hence, the correct option is (D) .
