Suppose that you decide to buy a car for $26,635, including taxes and license fees. you saved $8000 for a down payment and can get a five-year car loan at 6.39%. Find the monthly payment and the total interest for the loan.

Respuesta :

Answer-

  1. Monthly payment = $363.66
  2. Total interest = $3184.6

Solution-

Formula used-

[tex]\text{PV of annuity}=P[\dfrac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r}][/tex]

Cost of the car = $26635

Down-payment amount = $8000

So, Present Value of the annuity = 26635-8000 = $18635

r = rate of interest = 6.39% annual =  [tex]\dfrac{6.39}{12}[/tex]% monthly

n = time period = 5 years = 60 months

Putting the values in the formula,

[tex]\Rightarrow 18635=P[\dfrac{1-(1+\dfrac{0.0639}{12})^{-60}}{\dfrac{0.0639}{12}}][/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{18635}{[\dfrac{1-(1.005325)^{-60}}{0.005325}]}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{18635\times 0.005325}{1-(1.005325)^{-60}}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=\$363.66[/tex]

Hence, your monthly payment will be $363.66

The total amount you will be paying in 5 years (including down-payment) is, [tex]8000+(363.66\times 60)=8000+21819=\$29819.6[/tex]

Therefore, the total interest for the loan will be [tex]29819.6-26635=\$3184.6[/tex]
