Problema Solution

Patricia borrowed $58,400 from Northwest Savings and Loan for 220 days. Assume that the saving and loan charges Patricia Stewart an annual interest rate of 8% for this loan. What is the maturity value?

Answer provided by our tutors

P = $58,400 principal amount (the initial amount)

r = 0.08 annual rate of interest (as a decimal)

t = 220/360 years number of years (if we use the 360 days in a year)

A = future value or maturity value


since the compounding in annual and the time period is less that 1 year for the interest we have:


I = P*r*t


I = 58400*0.08(220/360)


I = $2,855


the maturity value is


A = I + P


A = 58,400 + 2,855


A = $61,255.
