A person bought a house paying Rs. 20000 in cash down and Rs. 4000 at ...
Calculation of Cash Down Price
Given
- Down payment made in cash = Rs. 20,000
- Yearly payment for 25 years = Rs. 4,000
- Rate of interest = 5% p.a
Calculation of Total Payment
The total payment made by the person can be calculated using the formula for the sum of an annuity.
Let A be the yearly payment, r be the rate of interest, and n be the number of years.
Using the formula for the sum of an annuity, the total payment made by the person can be calculated as:
Total payment = A x ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r
Substituting the given values, we get:
Total payment = Rs. 4,000 x ((1 + 0.05)^25 - 1) / 0.05
Total payment = Rs. 1,57,734.86
Calculation of Principal Amount
The principal amount can be calculated using the formula for the present value of an annuity.
Let A be the yearly payment, r be the rate of interest, and n be the number of years.
Using the formula for the present value of an annuity, the principal amount can be calculated as:
Principal amount = A x ((1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r)
Substituting the given values, we get:
Principal amount = Rs. 4,000 x ((1 - (1 + 0.05)^-25) / 0.05)
Principal amount = Rs. 64,487.99
Calculation of Cash Down Price
The cash down price is the initial payment made in cash.
Therefore, the cash down price can be calculated as:
Cash down price = Total payment - Principal amount
Substituting the values, we get:
Cash down price = Rs. 1,57,734.86 - Rs. 64,487.99
Cash down price = Rs. 93,246.87
Conclusion
Therefore, the cash down price of the house is Rs. 93,246.87.
