You wish to buy a speed boat that costs $45,000. You will put down 10% down payment and finance the remaining cost of the boat with a 6-year fully amortized loan at an annual rate of 12%. If you want to make equal quarterly payments with the first payment three months from now, how much will your quarterly payment be?
- Loan Amount = Boat Cost*(1- % of Downpayment)
Loan Amount = $45,000*(1-0.10)
Loan Amount = $40,500
Calculating the Quarterly Loan payment:-
Where, P = Loan amount = $40,500
r = Periodic Interest rate = 12%/4 = 3%
n= no of periods = 6 years*4 = 24
Quarterly payments = $2391.42
