Using the loan amortization formula of P = L[c(1 + c)^n]/[(1 + c^)n - 1], where P is the payment, L is the amount of the loan, c is the yearly interest rate, and n is the amount of time, in years, we have:
P=5(.04(1+.04)^12))/(1+.04)^12 -1
P=5(0.0640412887)/0.6010322
P=0.532760879888858131 trillion, or $532,760,879,888.86 per year to retire the debt.
