A 1,000 loan is to be repaid with equal payments at the end of each year for 20 years. The principal portion of the 13th payment is 1.5 times the principal portion of the 5th payment. Calculate the total amount of interest paid on the loan

$632

Explanation:

using an excel spreadsheet I prepared an amortization schedule

The interest charged was 5.2% per year and the yearly payment will be $81.60. The principal portion of the fifth payment = $36.25 and the principal portion of the thirteenth payment = $54.38 (1.5 times the principal paid at the end of year 5).

total interests paid = $632

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
