Answer to Question 1

Answer: Annual payments for the first five years of interest only = (r)  (PV) = .09  5,000 = 450.00. The final payment in year 6 will be the last interest payment plus the principal amount = 450 + 5,000 = 5,450.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) The first payment will be equal to the beginning balance times the annual interest rate = 8,000  .12 = 960.00.
