What will be the monthly payment on a car that is purchased for $15,999 at 3.5% APR for 5 years, compounded monthly?
Principal (P)= 15,999
As interest is compounded monthly,
r=3.5/12 = 0.2917%
n=5*12=60
Monthly Payment =
Monthly Payment = (0.002917*15999) / (1-(1+0.002917)-60) = (46.6691) / (1-(1.002917)-60) = (46.6691)/(1-0.8397)
Monthly Payment = (46.6691)/(0.1603) = $291 (rounding off)
