You are planning to purchase a new Volkswagen Jetta that on average sells for $20,000. You can secure 4% annual interest rate if you decide to finance the purchase. You're planning to borrow money for 48 months, repaying in equal monthly payments at the beginning of each month
What is the monthly payment?
PV of annuity due =Annuity+ Annuity*(1-1/(1+rate)^(number of periods-1))/rate
Here rate = 4%/12 = 0.33333%
20000 = Annuity + Annuity*(1-1/(1+0.0033333)^47)/0.0033333
20000= Annuity+ Annuity*43.4365
Annuity = 450.08
Hence Monthly payment = $450.08
