Using BA2 Plus calculator:-
We will assume 6 monthly cash flows since interest is compounded Semiannually. Using CF function, enter below variables:-
CF0 = +6000
CF1 = 0, CF2 = 0, CF3 = 0, CF4 = -2000, CF5 = 0, CF6 = 2500, CF7 = 0, CF8 = 0, CF9 = 0, CF10 = 0,
Now press NPV, Enter I = 4% ( 8% / 2), Press down arrow and calculate NPV. This will show as 3426. This is the last loan payment to be made.
