Answer:
P= 10,937.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the annual interest rate is 5%, we'll have
125000 * 5/100 = 6250
Therefore the total amount to be paid in the first year is [ 125000 + 6250 = 131250]
If P is the monthly payment for first year, to get P we divide the amount to be paid in the first year by the total number of months in a year.
I.e [ P = 131250/12], Therefore we have:
P = 131250 / 12months
P = 10937.5
