Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$275,098.25

Explanation:

The principal amount can be found using the annuity formula.

A = P(r/12)/(1 - (1 +r/12)^(-12t))

where A is the monthly payment, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, and t is the number of years.

Solving for P, we have ...

P = A(12/r)(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t)) = 1200(12/0.025)(1 -(1 +.025/12)^(-12·26))

= $275,098.25

The account balance needs to be $275,098.25.
