A loan is repayable by decreasing quarterly instalments made in arrears for 8 years. The payment made at the end of the first quarter year is £2,100 and subsequent payments decrease by £20 each quarter. The instalments were calculated using a nominal rate of interest of 6% per annum convertible quarterly. Immediately after the 10th instalment has been made, it is agreed that the annual decrease will no longer occur. Thus, the future instalments will continue at the same level as in the 10th payment, for a shorter term, and with a smaller amended payment at the end of the loan contract. 1. Calculate the remaining revised term of the loan in whole quarter years. 2. Calculate, to 2 decimal places, the amount of the final amended instalment.
