Answer to Question 1

Answer: There are two methods to consider. First, you can make 24 equal payments of = 1,250. This will pay off the entire loan before interest is charged. Second, you can make the regular 7 APR payments for two years and then pay off the balance with what is called a balloon payment. The PVIFA factor for 6  12 = 72 periods and a periodic interest rate of = 0.58333 is:
PVIFA = 58.65444. The monthly annuity payment is: PMT = = = 511.47. The total monthly payments for two years would be 24  511.47 = 12,275.28. Therefore, your balloon payment at the end of two years would be 30,000.00 - 12,275.28 = 17,724.72.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: There are two methods to consider. First, you can make 24 equal payments of = 833.33. This will pay off all of the loan before interest is charged. Second, you can make the regular 8 APR payments for two years and then pay off the balance with what is called a balloon payment. The PVIFA factor for 5  12 = 60 periods and a periodic interest rate of = 0.66667 is 49.31843. The monthly annuity payment is: PMT = = = 405.53. The total monthly payments for two years would be 24  405.53 = 9,732.67. Therefore, your balloon payment at the end of two years would be 20,000.00 - 9,732.67 = 10,267.33. Do the two methods imply that money is free? The answer is yes only if you are willing to make the loan period last just two years and can either (i) increase your monthly payments to 833.33 or (ii) pay off the balloon balance of 10,267.33 at the end of the second year following 24 equal payments of 405.53. For many people, these two options may not be feasible. For example, many people may find 833.33 a month for a car loan too much for their budget even if for only two years, and it may be even more difficult to come up with a balloon payment of 10,267.33 after the two-year period.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
