Please explain, I tried multiple time and ended up confused.

I will be giving the MA exam at 18 Morning. And I am currently revising. Any question I encounter with, I don't know the solution or get wrong answer from my working. It demotivates me alot !
5y ago#2I am guessing that you mistyped and the total payment was 75,000 (not 750,000).
In that case the amount remaining after the down payment is 15,000.
There are then 60 monthly payments so to get the amount of each payment we divide by the 60 period annuity factor at the monthly interest rate (which means calculating the annuity factor using the formula given in the exam.
To calculate the monthly interest rate, if we let it be R, then (1 + R)^12 = 1.16.
So the monthly interest rate R = (twelfth root of 1.16) - 1
Where are you finding this question, because it is very unlikely for the exam? (You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers - BPP or Kaplan).
