Question 1: Present Value of a Loan
1. Identify the Problem Type
This is an Ordinary Annuity because there are equal payments (R = 250) at equal time
periods (every 6 months) and the interest is compounded. Since it does not state payments are
"invnediate· °' at the "beginning,• we assume they occur at the end of each period.
2. Timellne
• Start (TO}: Present Value (P V) is unknown.
• Period 1to 20: Payments of R = 250 occur every 6 months.
• End (Year 10): The 20th and final payment is made.
3. Given Values
• R = 250 (Payment amount)
• L=10 (Number of years)
• 1n = 2(Compounded f!Very six months/ semi-annually)
• im = 0.05 (Nominal interest rate)
• n = l x n1 = 10 x 2 = 20 (Total number of periods)
• i = 7,; = ~ = 0.025 (Interest rate per period)
