Your friend just purchased a new sports car for 32,000 dollars. He received 6,000 dollars for his trade in and he used that money as a down payment for the new car. He financed the vehicle at 6.76% APR over 48 months with a monthly payment of $619.15. Determine from the given information, the finance charge.

Respuesta :

32000-6000 = $26,000 is the amount he financed

619.15 x 48 = 29719.20 is the total amount he paid back

29719.20- 26000 = 3,719.20 is the amount of interest he paid (finance charge)

The amount of total finance my friend has given to the finance company will be $3719.20.

What is simple interest?

Simple interest is a way to figure out how much interest will be charged on a sum of money at a specific rate and for a specific duration of time.

Unlike compound interest, which adds the interest from the principal of prior years to determine the interest of the following year, the principal amount in simple interest remains constant.

Given that the

cost of car = $32000

Down payment = $6000

Amount that he need to pay = $32000 - $6000 = $ 26000

Rate of interest = 6.76%

The total amount that he paid excludes the down payment = 619.15 ×48

$29719.20

Total amount of finance charge = $29719.20 - $2600

$3719.20 so it will be a finance charge.
