Step-by-Step Solution

Given Information
We are given with the unpaid balance after $k$ th monthly payment ($y _ { k }$) and the first payment is given as\[y _ { 1 } = 10,000 + ( 0.01 ) 10,000 - 450\]We have to find the difference equation for the above case, create a table for the same and find the k for last payment and total money paid

Step-1:
Let the difference equation has the form: \[y _ { k + 1 } - a y _ { k } = b\]The coefficient $a$ can be found from the interest rate \[\begin{aligned} a & = \left( 1 + \dfrac { r } { 100 } \right) \\ & = \left( 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 100 } \right) \\ & = 1.01 \end{aligned}\]The coefficient $b$ is the monthly payment: \[b = - 450\]The initial amount is: \[y _ { 0 } = 10000\]So the difference equation is:

\[y _ { k + 1 } = 1.01 y _ { k } - 450 , \quad y _ { 0 } = 10,000\]




Step-2:
The table is computed using the MATLAB code;

>> P = 450; y=10000; m=0; Table=[0 ; y];
>>while y>450
y=1.01*y-P;
m=m+1
Table=[Table ; y];
end>>
>>m,y


m Y m Y m Y

9 6721.015 20 2716.187
10 6338.226 21 2293.349


Step-2:
We can see from Table above, the last payment is 114.88 and total amount paid is; \[\begin{array}{l}T = 450 \times 25 + 114.88\\\\T = 11364.88\end{array}\]
