Expert Solution

Amount borrowed = 200000

No of quarters= n= 10*4= 40

Rate= r= 10%/4= 2.5% per quarter

First we need to find the quarterly payment which is P

Amount borrowed = P*(1-1/(1+rate)^number of terms)/rate

200000= P*(1-1/(1+2.5%)^40)/2.5%

200000= P*25.10278

P= 7967.25

Next we find the present value of payments remaining

Payment=P= 7967.25

No of payments remaining= n= 4 years*4= 16

Rate=r= 2.5%

PV of annuity = Annuity*(1-1/(1+rate)^number of terms)/rate

= 7967.25*(1-1/(1+2.5%)^16)/2.5%

= 7967.25*13.055

= 104012.43
