Question

Roy purchased a 2010 model sedan for $21,000. The dealership offered him a $149/month payment plan for 60 months, at the end of which the unpaid balance will be due. If the interest rate is 6%, find the total cost of this vehicle, including the balloon payment.

Answer 1

$26,870.12

Step-by-step explanation:

A financial calculator can tell you the future value (remaining balance) of the loan after 60 payments is $17930.12. The 60 payments total ...

... $149×60 = $8940

so the total amount paid for the vehicle is ...

... $8940 +17930.12 = $26,870.12

_____

The attachment shows the calculation of the remaining balance added to payments made to get to that balance. Negative amounts are amounts paid.
