If a loan of $100,000 is taken from a bank at 12% interest compounded monthly. What amount of loan will be repaid at the end of 2nd year?
Here,
Principal amount of loan = $100,000
Annual rate of interest = 12%
Monthly rate of interest = 12% / 12 =1%
Number of years = 2
Total number of months = 2 x 12 = 24
The terms used in formula
A - Amount of loan after 2 year
P - Principal amount
r - monthly interest rate
n - number of months
\( \begin {align}A &= P(1+r)^n\\ &= \$100,000(1+0.01)^{24}\\ &= \$126,973.46 \end{align} \)
Hence, the amount of loan repaid after 2 years is $126,973.46
The amount of loan repaid after 2 years is $126,973.46
