You have decided to buy a car that costs $23,000. Since you do not have a big down payment, the lender offers you a loan with an APR of 5.87 percent compounded monthly for 5 years with the first monthly payment due today. What is the amount of your loan payment?
Solution
Present value of annuity due=Annuity payment*((1-(1/(1+r)^n))/r)*(1+r)
where
r-discount rate per period-5.87/12=0.489167% per month
n-number of periods -5*12=60
Present value of annuity due=Loan amount=23000
Putting values in formula
23000=Annuity payment*((1-(1/(1+.00489167)^60))/.00489167)*(1+.00489167)
Thus annuity payment=Monthly payment=$441.11
Total loan payment made=441.11*60=$26466.60
