    Explanation:

    Using Present Value Annuity (PV A):

    PV A = c x (1 - 1 / (1+r) ^t) / r

    c = Monthly repayment

    t = time it will take to pay off

    r = rate of interest per month

    $ 11,500 = $500 x (1 - 1 / (1+0.0125) ^t / 0.0125

    When you solve this problem you get:

    1 / (1+0.0125) t = 1 - (($11,500) (0.0125) / ($500))

    1/1.0125^t = 0.7125

    1.0125^t = 1/0.7125

    1.0125^t = 1.4035

    t = In 1.4035 / In 1.0125

    t = 27.29 months
