Given:
Loan amount = Rs. 8400
Rate of interest = 10% p.a. compounded annually
Time period = 2 years
Installments = 2 equal annual installments
To find: Value of each installment
Concept Used:
The formula to calculate the value of each installment is given by:
EMI = (P x r x (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
where,
P = Loan amount
r = Rate of interest per annum (compounded annually)
n = Number of installments
Calculation:
In this case, the loan amount is to be repaid in two equal annual installments. So, the number of installments (n) = 2.
Let the value of each installment be x.
For the first year, the interest on the loan amount of Rs. 8400 at 10% p.a. compounded annually will be:
Interest = P x (r/100) = 8400 x (10/100) = Rs. 840
So, the amount to be repaid at the end of the first year = Principal + Interest = Rs. 8400 + Rs. 840 = Rs. 9240
Now, the remaining loan amount to be repaid at the end of the second year = Rs. 9240 - x
For the second year, the interest will be calculated on the remaining loan amount of Rs. 9240 - x.
Interest = (9240 - x) x (10/100) = 924 - 0.1x
So, the amount to be repaid at the end of the second year = Remaining loan amount + Interest = (9240 - x) + (924 - 0.1x) = 8160 - 0.9x
According to the given condition, both the installments are equal. So, we can equate the two amounts to get the value of x.
9240 = 8160 - 0.9x + x
1080 = 0.1x
x = 10800/10
x = Rs. 1080
Therefore, the value of each installment is Rs. 1080.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
