Expert Solution
Step 1

A sum borrowed to meet any personal or business need is regarded as a loan. The loan is generally repaid through a series of payments made at each interval. The periodic payments made to repay the loan amount can be regarded as annuity payments. The annuity alternatively is a series of payments made either as a deposit or to repay any loan. The current worth of all the future cash flow payments reveals an annuity's present value. In the case of a loan, the annuity's present value is equivalent to the loan amount.
