Payments of $5,000 due in 3 months and $6,000 due in 9 months are to be paid off with interest allowed at 13%.
How much would be required to pay off the loan today?( Use today as the focal date).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since the problem tells nothing about compounding, I will assume that 13% is simple annual interest rate.


To answer the question, we should add the present values of the two accounts.


Present value of the first  account is  5000%2F%281+%2B+%283%2F12%29%2A0.13%29 = 4842.62 dollars (rounded).

Present value of the second account is  6000%2F%281+%2B+%289%2F12%29%2A0.13%29 = 5466.97 dollars (rounded).


The total to pay today is the sum  4842.62 + 5466.97 = 10309.59 dollars.    ANSWER

Solved.
