Calculate the monthly repayments (payable at the end of each month) for a period of 25 years, for a mortgage of £250,000 at a fixed interest rate of 2.9% per year. e. What is the single amount you need to save today so that you will have £30,000 in 5 years, if the saving rate is 4%? Assume that interest is applied to the account at the end of every year. 4 Task 3 Use an Excel worksheet to setup one table to compare the UK Government spending for the two years.
