1.To illustrate with the simplest case of annual payments, suppose you borrow $24,000 at 10 percent compound annual interest to be repaid over the next 6 years. Equal installment payments are required at the end of each year. Please determine the annual payment, and amortization schedule.

2. On Jan 1st, 2000, the real risk-free rate is 2% and is expected to be constant for next 20 years. Inflation is expected to be 7% next year, 5% the following year, and 3% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.2*(t -1) % and up to 1%. (t = number of years to maturity). Please estimate the term structure of US treasury.
