Problem
You borrow $30,000 to be repaid in equal monthly instalments over 10 years. The interest on the loan is 12% p.a. compounding (1% per month)
i. What is the monthly repayment?
ii. How much would it cost to pay out the loan after 4 years? (Note: The payout figure is the amount owing on the loan, that is, the principal balance.)
