You buy a car for $40,000. You agree to a 72-month loan with a monthly interest rate of 0.35 percent.
a. What is your required monthly payment?
b. What is the total amount interest payment over this period?

= 629.51
Hence the required monthly payment is $629.51
Total Amount paid with interest = $629.51 x 72 = $45324.72
Extra amount paid as interest = $45324.72 - $40000 = $5324.72
