    last installment is $540

    Step-by-step explanation:

    principal amount (p) = $7500

    rate (r) = 16.5 %

    installment = $300

    to find out

    full payment is increased to pay off the loan and the last smaller payment is made one month after the last full payment

    solution

    we know monthly installment is $300 so amount will be paid i. e.

    amount = $300*12*N ... 1

    here N is no of installment

    and we know amount formula i. e.

    amount = principal (1+r/100) ^N

    put amount value and principal rate

    300*12*N = 7500 (1+16.5/100) ^N

    (3600 * N) / 7500 = 1.165^N

    0.48N = 1.165^N

    by the graphical we will get N = 3.65

    so 3.65 year

    so as that put N in equation 1 we get

    amount = $300*12 * 3.65

    amount = $13140

    we can say there are 43 installment so remaining money is $13140 - ($300 * 43 installment)

    i. e. = $240 and last installment will be $300 + $240 = $540

    so last installment is $540
