Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The bank will loan you (1 - 0.2)  150,000 = 120,000, and this is the PV.
The PVIFA using r = 6.84 and n = 20 is 10.727045.
The annual annuity payment is: PMT = = = 11,186.68.
This is a better deal than monthly payments because whenever you have to make payments more frequently, your effective cost of borrowing goes up. For example, using the EAR formula with C/Y = 12 and monthly rate = = 0.5700, we get 7.0586. Since the EAR is the same as the APR for annual payments, the effective cost of borrowing for annual payments is 6.84, which is lower than 7.0586.
