Question

A man approaches a Loan Agency for P100,000 to be paid in 24 monthly instalments. The agency advertises an interest rate of 1.5% per month. They proceed to calculate the amount of his monthly payment as follows:

 

Amount requested P100,000

Credit investigation P500

Credit risk insurance P1,000

Total P101,500

Interest = P101,500(24)(0.015) = P36,540

Total owed = P36,540 + P101,500 = P138,040

Payment = P138,040 / 24 = P5,751.67
