Answer #1

His monthly payment buying a new car would be $169.98. Below is the calculation:

Monthly interest rate=6.9%/12=0.58%

Tenure=3*12=36 month

His new monthly budget is given below:

Monthly income Rent Expense Miscellaneous Expense (Electricity, Phone, cable, internet, Food Expense) Car Maintenance Movie expense Monthly Loan payment on Car Loan Savings (Net income-Rent-Miscellaneous Expense-Car Maintenance-Movie expense-CAR EMI)
$2,235.00 $950.00 $700.00 $25.00 $120.00 $369.98 $70.02

As it's a new car he has lower maintenance cost on car, I assumed this to be $25/month and reduced expense on movie s $120/month so that he can afford his car payments.
