Fully amortized loan (annual payments for principal and interest with the same amount each year). Chuck Ponzi has talked an elderly woman into loaning him $40,000 for a new business venture. She has, however, successfully passed a finance class and requires Chuck to sign a binding contract on repayment of the $40,000 with an annual interest rate of 9% over the next 5 years. Determine the cash flow to the woman under a fully amortized loan, in which Ponzi will make equal annual payments at the end of each year so that the final payment will completely retire the original $40,000 loan.
