Mr. X purchased a house from a company for ₹ 7,00,000 and made a down payment of ₹ 1,50,000. He repays the balance in 25 years by equal monthly installments at 9 % per annum compounded monthly. The equated monthly installment (EMI) is:

[Given that : (1.0075)⁻³⁰⁰ = 0.106]

Solution

Correct Option: 2

The total house price is ₹7,00,000.

Down payment made is ₹1,50,000.

Loan amount (Principal):

P=7,00,0001,50,000P = 7,00,000 - 1,50,000

P=5,50,000P = 5,50,000


Time period is 25 years, which equals 300 months.

Annual interest rate is 9%.

Monthly interest rate:

r=9%12r = \dfrac{9\%}{12}

r=0.75%r = 0.75\%

r=0.0075r = 0.0075

Number of payments: n=300n = 300 months

Given: (1.0075)300=0.106(1.0075)^{-300} = 0.106


The EMI formula is:

EMI=P×r×(1+r)n(1+r)n1\text{EMI} = \dfrac{P \times r \times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n - 1}


To find (1.0075)300(1.0075)^{300}:

(1.0075)300=1(1.0075)300(1.0075)^{300} = \dfrac{1}{(1.0075)^{-300}}

(1.0075)300=10.106(1.0075)^{300} = \dfrac{1}{0.106}

(1.0075)300=9.434(1.0075)^{300} = 9.434


Substituting values into the EMI formula:

EMI=5,50,000×0.0075×9.4349.4341\text{EMI} = \dfrac{5,50,000 \times 0.0075 \times 9.434}{9.434 - 1}

Numerator:

5,50,000×0.0075=4,1255,50,000 \times 0.0075 = 4,125

4,125×9.434=38,915.254,125 \times 9.434 = 38,915.25

Denominator:

9.4341=8.4349.434 - 1 = 8.434

EMI:

EMI=38,915.258.434\text{EMI} = \dfrac{38,915.25}{8.434}

EMI=4,614.45\text{EMI} = 4,614.45

EMI4,614\text{EMI} \approx ₹4,614

Therefore, the equated monthly installment is ₹4,614.
