a. Determine the amount of the down payment.
b. Determine Sam’s total finance charge.
- Price of PT Cruiser GT = $25,000
a). Down payment = 5%
Amount of Down payment = $25,000*5%
= $1250
- Loan amount = $25,000 - $1250
= $23,750
Calculating the Monthly Loan payment:-
Where, P = Loan amount = $23,750
r = Periodic Interest rate = 8%/12 = 0.66666%
n= no of periods = 60 months
Monthly payment = $481.56
Total Finance Charge = (No of monthly Payment*Monthly payment) - Loan amount
Total Finance Charge = (60*$481.56) - $23,750
Total Finance Charge = $5143.60
