Find the amount of each payment necessary to amortize the following loan.
A company borrows $84,700 for new equipment.
The company agrees to make quarterly payments for 9 years at 10% per year.
Find the amount of the quarterly payment.
We need to compute for the present value of the ordinary annuity. Use this formula Pv=pmt [(1-(1+r/k)^(-kn))÷(r/k)]
Given: Pv - 84,700 r - 10% k - 4 since it's quarterly n - 9 years
Required: pmt or the quarterly periodic payment; to find this transpose the formula to leave pmt variable on one side, substitute the values to the variables, then simplify
