Expert Answer
I1=interest paid in the first payment
I2=interest paid in the second payment
P1=principal paid in the first payment
P2=principal paid in the second payment
Because the payments are equal:
I1 + P1 = I2 + P2
Because all the principal is paid:
P1 + P2 = 550
First payment interest is on the full loan:
I1 = 550 x 0.2x 1 = 110 (Using simple interest itself as the interest rate is compounded anually, so the interest computed for any first year will be same as that computed using the simple interest.
I2=interest paid in the second payment
P1=principal paid in the first payment
P2=principal paid in the second payment
Because the payments are equal:
I1 + P1 = I2 + P2
Because all the principal is paid:
P1 + P2 = 550
First payment interest is on the full loan:
I1 = 550 x 0.2x 1 = 110 (Using simple interest itself as the interest rate is compounded anually, so the interest computed for any first year will be same as that computed using the simple interest.
Second payment interest is only on the remaining principal:
I2 = (550-P1) x 0.2 x1
Substituting:
110 + P1 = (550 - P1)(0.2) + (550-P1)
110 + P1 = 110 - 0.2P1 + 550 - P1
2.2P1 = 550
P1 = 250
Hence, each Payment = P1+ I1 = 250 + 110 = Rs. 360
