Suppose Intr is annually compounded                                       
9 t, u( M+ `  S/ K3 h4 Q6 e                Month 0        Mon. 8                  Mon. 12
2 e) _4 g/ M; C7 F: oCash Principal        X        -750                  -950       
Cash Intr (Should Pay)                -X*9.5%*8/12          -(X-750)*9.5%*4/12               
PV at mon 0        X        -[750+X*9.5%*8/12]          -[950+(X-750)*9.5%*4/12]
                                                 /(1+7.75%*8/12)           /(1+7.75%*12/12)
- J1 Z3 c6 d. ?  {
these 3 should add up to 0, i.e. NPV at month 0 is 0.

So, Initial borrowing was        1730        *(1+7.5%)        1859.5        approx.         $1,860
