Solution to Questions #3 #4:
Year 0: PV = ($400,000) (2.7232) = $1,089,280 (Opening Liability Balance)
Year 1: (0.05) ($1,089,280) = $54,464 (Interest)
$400,000 (Payment) minus $54,464 = $345,536 (Amortization)
$1,089,280 – 345,536 = $743,744 (Liability Balance)
Year 2: (0.05) ($743,744) = $37,187 (Interest)
$400,000 – 37,187 = $362,813 (Amortization)
$743,744 – $362,813 = $380,931 (Liability Balance)
Year 3: (0.05) ($380,931) = $19,047 (Interest)
$400,000 – $19,047 = $380,953 (Amortization)
$380,931 – $380,953 ≈ 0 (Final Liability Balance – with small rounding error)
