Answer:
B. An increase in i, the interest rate, will create an increase in P, the monthly payment.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the formula for the monthly payment as,
[tex]P=\frac{i \times PV}{1-(1+i)^{-n} }[/tex],
where P = monthly payment, i = rate of interest, PV = present value and n = time period.
Now, as i increase we get that (1+i) increases and so [tex](1+i)^{n}[/tex] increases.
This gives us that, [tex]\frac{1}{(1+i)^{n} }[/tex] decreases and so [tex]1-\frac{1}{(1+i)^{n}}[/tex] decreases
Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{1-(1+i)^{-n} }[/tex] increases.
So, we get that as i increases , the value of P will increase.
Hence, option B is correct.
Answer:
Option B is the correct answer - An increase in i, the interest rate, will create an increase in P, the monthly payment.
Step-by-step explanation:
The monthly payment formula is
[tex]p=\frac{r(PV)}{1-(1+r)^{-n} }[/tex]
where p = monthly payment, r = rate of interest, n = time period and PV = present value.
Here 'r' is proportional to p. When r increases, p increases and vice versa.
Hence, option B is correct.
Summing up in simple language, we always see, when the rate of interest is higher, the installments are higher and when rate is lower the monthly installments are less.
