To calculate the annual payment, we first need to find the total interest for one year:
Total interest = Principal x Rate
Total interest = $525,000 x 0.07
Total interest = $36,750
So each annual payment will consist of $35,000 principal plus $36,750 interest, for a total of:
Annual payment = Principal + Interest
Annual payment = $35,000 + $36,750
Annual payment = $71,750
Therefore, on March 1 of each year, the borrower must make a payment of $71,750 to Bartow Bank, consisting of $35,000 principal and $36,750 interest. This will continue for 15 years until the loan is fully paid off.
