8. I have since graduated from Webster. I can now afford a payment of $550 per month. How much could I finance now, assuming terms of 3.0%, and 6 years?

Expert Solution

7). afforded monthly payment PMT = $350

interest rate = 3% compounded monthly

term of loan t = 5 years

So, affordable car loan can be calculated using PV formula of annuity

PV = PMT*(1 - (1+r/n)^(-n*t))/(r/n) = 350*(1 - (1+0.03/12)^(-12*5))/(0.03/12) = $19478.33

8). If monthly payment afforded PMT = $550

interest rate = 3% compounded monthly

term of loan t = 6 years

So, affordable car loan can be calculated using PV formula of annuity

PV = PMT*(1 - (1+r/n)^(-n*t))/(r/n) = 550*(1 - (1+0.03/12)^(-12*6))/(0.03/12) = $36199.27
