A certain college graduate borrows 7864 dollars to buy a car. The lender charges interest at an annual rate of 13%. Assuming that interest is compounded continuously and that the borrower makes payments continuously at a constant annual rate k dollars per year, determine the payment rate that is required to pay off the loan in 3 years. Also determine how much interest is paid during the 3-year period.

Answer:

Therefore rate of payment = $ 3145.72

Therefore the rate of interest = =$1573.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider A represent the balance at time t.

A(0)=$ 7864.

r=13 % =0.13

Rate payment = $k

The balance rate increases by interest (product of interest rate and current balance) and payment rate.

[tex]\frac{dB}{dt} = rB-k[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dB}{dt} - rB=-k[/tex].......(1)

To solve the equation ,we have to find out the integrating factor.

Here p(t)= the coefficient of B =-r

The integrating factor [tex]=e^{\int p(t) dt[/tex]

                                     [tex]=e^{\int (-r)dt[/tex]

                                     [tex]=e^{-rt}[/tex]

Multiplying the integrating factor the both sides of equation (1)

[tex]e^{-rt}\frac{dB}{dt} -e^{-rt}rB=-ke^{-rt}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow e^{-rt}dB - e^{-rt}rBdt=-ke^{-rt}dt[/tex]

Integrating both sides

[tex]\Rightarrow \int e^{-rt}dB -\int e^{-rt}rBdt=\int-ke^{-rt}dt[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow e^{-rt}B=\frac{-ke^{-rt}}{-r} +C[/tex]        [ where C arbitrary constant]

[tex]\Rightarrow B(t)=\frac{k}{r} +Ce^{rt}[/tex]

Initial condition B=7864 when t =0

[tex]\therefore 7864= \frac{k}{r} - Ce^0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow C= \frac{k}{r} -7864[/tex]

Then the general solution is

[tex]B(t)=\frac{k}{r}-( \frac{k}{r}-7864)e^{rt}[/tex]

To determine the payment rate, we have to put the value of B(3), r and t in the general solution.

Here B(3)=0, r=0.13 and t=3

[tex]B(3)=0=\frac{k}{0.13}-( \frac{k}{0.13}-7864)e^{0.13\times 3}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow- 0.48\frac{k}{0.13} +11614.98=0[/tex]

⇒k≈3145.72

Therefore rate of payment = $ 3145.72

Therefore the rate of interest = ${(3145.72×3)-7864}

                                                 =$1573.17
