A $10,000 loan amortized over 5 years at an interest rate of 10% per year requires payments of $2638 to completely remove the loan when interest is charged on the unrecovered balance of the principal. If interest is charged on the original principal instead of the unrecovered balance, what is the loan balance after 5 years, provided the same $2638 payments are made each year?
The annual worth for years 1 through infinity of $50,000 now, $10,000 per year in years 1 through 15, and $20,000 per year in years 16 through infinity at 10% per year is closest to
