Answer:

Ans. The annual payment to repay the loan at 6% annual, for 4 years is $5,771.83

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the annual payment o the loan, we need to use the following equation and solve for "A".

[tex]PresentValue=\frac{A((1+r)^{n} -1)}{r(1+r)^{n} }[/tex]

Where:

Present Value = Money loaned (in this case, $20,000)

A= Annual payments

r= interest rate (in our case, annual)

n = Number of periodic payments (4 payments, 1 each year)

Everything should look like this.

[tex]20,000=\frac{A((1+0.06)^{4}-1) }{0.06(1+0.06)^{4} }[/tex]

[tex]20,000=\frac{A(0.26247696)}{0.07574862}[/tex]

[tex]20,000=A(3.46510561)[/tex]

[tex]A=\frac{20,000}{3.46510561}[/tex]

[tex]A=5,771.83[/tex]

Best of luck.
