Mr Lim borrows $420 000 to purchase an apartment. The interest rate is 7.2%
p.a. reducible, and the loan is to be repaid in equal monthly repayments over 30
years, with interest calculated monthly. Let An be the amount owing after the
n-th repayment.
i. By writing expressions for A1 and A2 or otherwise, show that the amount
of each monthly repayment is $2 850.91.

ii. Due to a new wave of financial turmoils, the bank drops the interest rate to
6% p.a. reducible after 12 months of the loan commencing. Find the new
monthly repayment, correct to the nearest cent. The period of the original
loan remains at 30 years.
