Hull wants to borrow a car. After making a cash payment for tax, title, and a down payment, he will finance $32, 445. The interest rate is ½% per month and payments will be required for 5 years. a) How much will Hull’s monthly payment be? b) What is the effective annual rate of interest?
a)
| EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1] |
| Where, |
| EMI= Equal Monthly Payment |
| P= Loan Amount |
| R= Interest rate per period |
| N= Number of periods =12*5 =60 |
| = [ $32445x0.005 x (1+0.005)^60]/[(1+0.005)^60 -1] |
| = [ $162.225( 1.005 )^60] / [(1.005 )^60 -1 |
| =$627.25 |
b)
| Effective rate of interest = (1+r)^n -1 | ||
| n= number of periods | ||
| r = interest rate | ||
|
||
| =6.17% | ||
