What is the amount to be paid yearly to repay a loan of $100,000 given at an interest rate of 10% p.a. and which has to be repaid in 10 years?

Let the amount  of loan  be P, and the rate of interest be
at r%, and the amount of repayment A in  n years.


Then
after the 1st year P becomes (1+r/100)*P and  we repay an amount
A.


So the next year this balance of (1+r/100)P-A) grows
with interest ((1+r/100)P-A)(1+r/100) and we repay A and the balance for for the 3rd
year = (1+r/100)^2*P - A(1+r/100) - A. In this way at the end of n th year the position
is :


(1+r/100)^n P  - A{(1+r/100)^(n-1)+(1+r/100)(n-2)
+..+(1+r/100) + 1} which should be zero.


Or (1+r/100)^nP =
A{(1+r/100)^(n  -1}/{1+r/100 -1}.


Solving for A , we
get:


A = (1+r/100)^n*p}(r/100)/ {1+r/100)^n
-1}...(1)


We know P= $100000,n = 10 years and r = 10%=
10/100. So, 1+10/100 = 1.1


Therefore, A =
{1.1^10*10^5}(0.1)/{1.1^10-1}


A = $16274.54 (approximated
to two decimals).


Therefore , in order to settle the loan
of $100000 in 10 years, we have to make the annual repayment of
$16274.54.
