You are looking to buy a car. You can afford $650 in monthly payments for five years. In addition to the loan, you can make a $750 down payment. If interest rates are 8 percent APR, what price of car can you afford (loan plus down payment)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Information provided:
Monthly payment= $650
Time= 5 years*12= 60 months
Interest rate= 8%/12= 0.6667% per month
The present value is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
PMT= 650
N= 60
I/Y= 0.6667
Press the CPT key and PV to compute the present value.
The value obtained is 32,056.9817.
The price of the car I can afford is: Loan + Down [payment
= $32,056.98 + $750
= $31,306.98.
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution
