Explain. (b) Which loan results in a lower periodic payment? Explain. 2. When a debt is amortized, which interest rate is better for the borrower, 10% or 6%? Explain. 3. A debt of $8000 is to be amortized with 8 equal semiannual payments. If the interest rate is 12%, compounded semiannually, what is the size of each payment?

Explanation / Answer

1)

10 Year loan, has more payment towards principal

25 Year loan has lower payments because of longer tenure

2)

For borrower lower interest rate is always better

Hence 6% is better

3)

PMT = PV*r / (1 - (1+r)-n)

r = 12%/2 = 6%

n = 8, PV = 8000

PMT = 8000*6% / (1 - (1+6%)-8)

= 1288.288
