Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for the outstanding balance of an amortizing loan, which is:

P = R * [1 - (1 + r)^-n] / r

Where: P is the outstanding principal, R is the periodic payment, r is the periodic interest rate, and n is the number of remaining payments.

Given in the problem: R = Php130,000 (the semi-annual payment), r = 10% / 2 = 5% = 0.05 (the semi-annual interest rate), and n = 9 * 2 - 8 * 2 = 2 (the number of remaining payments after 8 years).

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

P = Php130,000 * [1 - (1 + 0.05)^-2] / 0.05

Calculating the expression in the brackets first:

1 - (1 + 0.05)^-2 = 1 - 1.1025^-2 = 1 - 0.907029478 = 0.092970522

Then multiply by Php130,000 and divide by 0.05:

P = Php130,000 * 0.092970522 / 0.05 = Php243,502.58

So, the outstanding principal after the 8th year is Php243,502.58.
