Concept:
- EMI stands for equated monthly installment. It is a monthly payment that we make towards a loan we opted for at a fixed date of every month.
- A loan is amortized when part of each periodic payment is used to pay interest and the remaining part is used to reduce the principal.
Reducing-Balance Method or Amortization Formulas:
- When one is amortizing a loan, at the beginning of any period, the principal outstanding is the present value of the remaining payments.
- Using this fact, we obtain the formulas that describe the amortization of an interest-bearing loan of Rs P, at a rate i per period by n equal payments of Rs R each and each payment is made at the end of each period.
Amortization Formulas:
(i) Periodic payment or installment,
\(⇒ R=P \left(\frac{i}{1-(1+i)^{-n}}\right)\)
(ii ) Principal Outstanding at the beginning of kth period,
\(=R\left(\frac{1-(1+i)^{-(n-(k-1))}}{i}\right)\)
\(\)Total Interest Paid \(=nR-P\)
Calculations:
Given: DP = 5,00,000 Rs (Amount paid already at the beginning), EMI = 25, 000 Rs
n = 30 × 12 = 360
So, the principal amount at the beginning,
⇒ P = 30,00,000 - 5,00,000 = 25,00,000 Rs
So, total Interest Paid (TI) = n R - P
⇒ TI = 360 × 25,000 - 25,00,000 = 65,00,000 Rs
Hence the option 2 is correct.
