12. Given the term of the loan is 4 years, and the outstanding balance at end of third year = 559.12,
the amount of principal repaid in the 4th payment is 559.12. But given level payments, the principal
repaid forms a geometric progression and thus the principal repaid in the rst year is v3 times the principal

STA 2191 Jane Akinyi Aduda
repaid in the fourth year = v3 559:12. Interest on the loan is 8%, thus principal repaid in rst year is

Alternatively, let each instalment be X, so
