Todd is able to pay $220 a month for five years for a car. If the interest rate is 3.9 percent, how much can Todd afford to borrow to buy a car?
a $5,072.93
b. $8,499.13
c. $11,975.12
d. $12,211.34
e. $982.16
The option (c) is right option.
Explanation:
Formula to be used = PV of ordinary annuity
PV = PMT*[(1/r)*(1-(1/(1+r)^n))]
PMT 220, rate = 3.9%, years = 5
Monthly rate = r = 3.9% /12
= 0.325%,
n = 5 x 12 = 60 months
PV = 220*[(1/0.00325)*(1-(1/(1+0.00325)^60))]
PV = 220*54.4323473 = 11975.12
PV = 11975.12
Hence, (c) is right option.
Hence, (c) is right option.
