Suppose you purchase a new car today for $25,000. You pay $2,000 as down payment towards this purchase, and finance the balance over 5 years at an annual interest rate of 5%, the first payment to be made in one month. Payments are made every month over the next 5 years. Calculate the monthly payment using both formula and function method. (Hint: need to multiply time by 12 to find the number of months and need to divide interest rate by 12 to find monthly interest rate. You can use the present value of annuity formula for this.) b. Show that the present value of all monthly payments is equal to the loan amount using the timeline method.
