Answer:

Correct option is (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of automobile (PV) = $28,000

APR = 4.9% or 0.049

Monthly interest rate = 0.049÷12

= 0.0041

Time period (nper) = 60

Use spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,-PV) to compute monthly payment.

Monthly payment is $527.37 or $527.

PV is negative as it is a cash outflow.

Answer:

so correct option is B) $527

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

cost = $28,000

offer APR = 4.9 % =
(4.9)/(12) = 0.0041

time = 60 months

finance the entire = $28,000

solution

we will apply here formula for calculate monthly payment that is

=
(r(1+r)^t)/((1+r)^t -1) ...........1

here r is rate that is 0.0041 and t is time that is 60 put here value we get

=
(0.0041(1+0.0041)^(60))/((1+0.0041)^(60) -1)

= 0.01883

so monthly payment is = 28000 × 0.01883

monthly payment is $527

so correct option is B) $527
