On September 1, 2014, Susan Chao bought a motorcycle for
$21,000. She paid $1,100 down and financed the balance with a
five-year loan at an APR of 6.3 percent compounded monthly. She
started the monthly payments exactly one month after the purchase
(i.e., October 1, 2014). Two years later, at the end of October
2016, Susan got a new job and decided to pay off the loan.
If the bank charges her a 2 percent prepayment penalty based on the
loan balance, how much must she pay the bank on November 1, 2016?
(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your
answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
