Question 1166215
.
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).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
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/(1 + (3/12)*0.13)}}} = 4842.62 dollars (rounded).

Present value of the second account is  {{{6000/(1 + (9/12)*0.13)}}} = 5466.97 dollars (rounded).


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