P = | Regular Payments |
PV = | Loan Amount |
r = | rate of interest |
n = | no of periods |
P = | r (PV) |
1 - (1 + r )^-n | |
489 = | (9%/12)*PV |
1 - (1 / (1 + 9%/12)^72)) | |
489 = | 0.0075 * PV |
0.416076365990435 | |
PV = | 489 / 0.0075 * 0.416076365990435 |
PV = | 27128.18 |
Price = | Loan + Downpayment |
27128.18 + 3500 | |
30628.18 |
