Suppose Intr is annually compounded                                       
                Month 0        Mon. 8                  Mon. 12
Cash Principal        X        -750                  -950       
' M/ S, T) \7 \6 ^Cash Intr (Should Pay)                -X*9.5%*8/12          -(X-750)*9.5%*4/12               
# {( J! K4 R; Z% dPV at mon 0        X        -[750+X*9.5%*8/12]          -[950+(X-750)*9.5%*4/12]
                                                 /(1+7.75%*8/12)           /(1+7.75%*12/12)
% S* m! @% r; v6 X0 }$ G( b, u8 y
these 3 should add up to 0, i.e. NPV at month 0 is 0.
                                       
Conclusion        X        =        1729.8               
                                       
  l/ A1 l  j8 [! W0 x" ]" TSo, Initial borrowing was        1730        *(1+7.5%)        1859.5        approx.         $1,860
