Math Problem Statement

Find the periodic payment r required to accumulate a sum of s dollars over t year with interest earned at the rate%/year compounded m times a year. P=180000, r=11.5, t=30, m=12

Solution

We can use the future value of an annuity formula to determine the periodic payment rr required to accumulate a sum of money. The formula is:

S=r×(1+i)n1iS = r \times \frac{(1 + i)^n - 1}{i}

Where:

  • SS is the future value or the accumulated amount (not given here, but will be related to PP, the present value),
  • rr is the periodic payment,
  • i=rmi = \frac{r}{m} is the interest rate per period,
  • n=m×tn = m \times t is the total number of periods (compounded times per year multiplied by the number of years),
  • PP is the present value or loan amount (given as 180,000),
  • tt is the time in years (given as 30 years),
  • mm is the number of compounding periods per year (given as 12),
  • rr is the annual interest rate divided by the number of periods.

Here we have P=180,000P = 180,000, r=11.5%=0.115r = 11.5\% = 0.115, t=30t = 30, and m=12m = 12.

Let's first calculate the periodic rate ii and the total number of periods nn:

i=rm=0.11512i = \frac{r}{m} = \frac{0.115}{12} n=m×t=12×30n = m \times t = 12 \times 30

Now we substitute into the formula to calculate SS, the future value.
