The monthly payment m of a loan of amount p for y years with an interest rate r can be calculated by the formula: m = p(r/12) 1 â’ (1 + r/12)â’12y calculate the monthly payment and the cummulative total payment for a $100,000 loan with an interest rate of 4.85% if taken out for 10 years, for 11 years, etc., up to a 30 year term. display the results in a three-column table where the first column is the number of years, the second is the monthly payment, and the third is the cummulative total payment. note: use format bank; for this problem. also, remember to represent the interest rate as a decimal (e.g. 0.0485) 2. a torus-shaped water tube is designed to have a volume of 8, 000in3 . the volume of the tube, v , and its surface area, s, are given by: v = 1 4 ď€ 2 (a + b)(b â’ a) 2 s = ď€ 2 (b 2 â’ a 2 ) if a = kb, determine s, a, and b for k = 0.2, 0.3, 0.7. display the results in a table

Suppose that real interest rates increase across europe. this development will u.s. net capital outflow at all u.s. real interest rates. this causes the loanable funds to because net capital outflow is a component of that curve.
