A man borrowed $ 10,000, at annual interest rate of 9 % with the understanding that interest was to paid monthly. However, the borrower did not make the monthly interest paymant and so the principal with interest at 9 % compounded monthly was due at the end of the year. What was the amount due??...

I believe the formula is : A = P(1+i) to exponent of "n"
where
n = tm
i = r/m

But i don't know howto solve it....
:(

hmmm....don't you just have to plug the number in?

P = present value = 10,000
i = interest = 9%
n = 1 year (since they didn't mention in here, just say that he made the payment at the end of the year)

FV = 10,000(1 + .09) ^ 1
= 10,000 (1.09)
= 10,900 total amount due at the end of the year

Take 10,000 and multiply by .09. This equals 900. This the monthly payment. If he needs to pay for 12 months. Multiply 900 times 12. 10,800.

The monthly interest is (9/12)% or 0.0075. If no payments are made until the end of the year,
A = $10,000(1.0075)^12
A ≈ $10,000(1.09380690)
A ≈ 10,938.07
