Answer:
A) Using financial calculator to calculate the number of years to pay off the loan
Inputs: I/y= 12% / 12 = 1%
Pv= -210,000
Pmt= 3,500
Fv= 0
N= compute
We get, number of years as 92.09 ÷ 12 = 7.7 years
B) Using financial calculator to calculate the number of years to pay off the loan
Inputs: I/y= 12% / 12 = 1%
Pv= -210,000
Pmt= 4,000
Fv= 0
N= compute
We get, number of years as 74.82 ÷ 12 = 6.2 years
