Derive and use the finite geometric series formula to solve problems such as mortgage-payment models.

Build a finite geometric-series model for a loan balance after repeated end-of-period payments

Problem

Write the general balance \(B\) after \(n\) end-of-period payments for principal \(L\), periodic factor \(b\), and payment \(P\).

Neutral generic loan cash-flow timeline showing principal L at time zero and n equal negative end-of-period payments P through valuation after payment n; the symbolic balance formula is withheld. Open full size
