The price of a car is $24000. You have saved 20% of the price as a down payment. After the down payment, the balance is financed with a six-year loan with monthly payments at 9%. Determine the unpaid balance after three years?
Information provided:
Price of the car = $24,000
Down payment = 20%*$24,000 = $4,800
Loan = present value (PV)= $24,000 - $4,800 = $19,200
Time (N)= 6 years*12 = 72 months
Monthly interest rate (I/Y)= 9%/12 = 0.75%
The question is solved by first calculating the amount of monthly payment.
Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the monthly payment:
PV= -19,200
N= 72
I/Y= 0.75
Press the CPT key and PMT to compute the amount of monthly payment.
The value obtained is 346.09.
Thereby, the monthly payment is $346.09.
Unpaid balance after 3 years:
= $19,200 - ($346.09*3*12)
= $19,200 - $12,459.25
= $6,740.76.
