Answer:
3.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost = $32,998
Down payment = $4,200
Remaining amount = $32,998 - $4,200 = $28,798
Monthly payment = $525
Duration = 5 years
Present value = Monthly payment × [tex][\frac{(1-(1+\frac{r}{k})^{-kn})}{(\frac{r}{k})}][/tex]
here, k = 12 when compounded monthly
r is the rate of interest
thus,
$28,798 = $525 × [tex][\frac{(1-(1+\frac{r}{12})^{-12\times5})}{(\frac{r}{12})}][/tex]
or
54.85 = [tex][\frac{(1-(1+\frac{r}{12})^{-12\times5})}{(\frac{r}{12})}][/tex]
or
r = 3.7%
