Loan payment formula 2019-02-24
From Kenneth:

I have a question regarding the loan payment formula shown below.

Calculating the Payment Amount per Period
The formula for calculating the payment amount is shown below.

Simple Amortization Calculation Formula

A = P X r(1 + r)n over (1 + r)n - 1

where

A = payment Amount per period

P = initial Principal (loan amount)
r = interest rate per period

n = total number of payments or periods

Is this formula/calculation a condensed version of a longer calculation? I am curious to know how the (1 +r)n - 1 was developed from the longer calculation. For example, r(1 + r)n may have been (r + rn)n. The n's are exponents.

I thank you for whatever helpful explanation that may be provided.

Kenneth

A car loan 2009-05-06
From Cindy:
A person takes out a car loan in the amount of $11,170.00 @ 4.5% interest. The person makes 17 payments of $500.00, then for the 18th payment (this person 'finds' some $) and pays off the whole thing. How much was their last (18th) payment? How much overall did they pay in principle? and interest?

The person who made the initial loan then takes $11,156.25 and places it into a High Interest Savings Account @ 2.25% annually on Nov 18, 2003. How much is now in the High Interest Savings Account if no futher funds have been added to the account and no withdrawls have been made?

Thanks for your help with this. I have been trying on and off for 3 years to figure this out.

Interest owing 2002-03-17
From Dean:
I am an investor. If I lend to someone on January 1, 1999, $1000 to be paid back interest at 2% per year (simple interest, ie not compounded), and on July 15, 1999, I lend the same person $1,500 more (total loan is now $2,500) but at 18%, and once again on October 15, 1999, I lend to the same person another $1,500, and the person pays me back the principle($4,000) and interest on January 1,2001: What is the total (principle plus interest) due me? The tougher question is: what was my blended rate of return on my total outlay of money? Is there a formula you can give me so that I can perform my own calculations?
