agreed to pay interest at the rate of 9.5% pa from the date of the agreement. Louise
failed to make the first payment and now wishes to settle her obligations with a
: W: m; h7 Y* b" {) }/ Usingle payment four months from now. What payment should Thelma be willing to

Suppose Intr is annually compounded                                       
                Month 0        Mon. 8                  Mon. 12
Cash Principal        X        -750                  -950       
2 z# ^% n# j# o0 w0 i: XCash Intr (Should Pay)                -X*9.5%*8/12          -(X-750)*9.5%*4/12               
PV at mon 0        X        -[750+X*9.5%*8/12]          -[950+(X-750)*9.5%*4/12]
9 S* ]( L' o  W# m; k                                                 /(1+7.75%*8/12)           /(1+7.75%*12/12)

these 3 should add up to 0, i.e. NPV at month 0 is 0.
                                       
Conclusion        X        =        1729.8               
                                       
So, Initial borrowing was        1730        *(1+7.5%)        1859.5        approx.         $1,860
