If the interest rate charged by the bank is 4.6%, then:
The quarterly amount that you would have to pay for this loan is
We can use Present value of annuity formula to find the answer:
Where,
PVA = Present value of annuity
A = Annuity or payment
i = Interest rate in decimal form
a = Number of compounding in a year
n = Number of years
Substituting the values in the formula, we get:
Therefore, the quarterly amount that you would have to pay for this loan is $253.46.
