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% | ||
