Question

George purchased a new car with the special 2.9% financing. If the car's price was $19,999 and he financed it for five years, find his monthly payment.

A. $357.46

B. $358.47

C. $199.99

D. $343.25

Answer 1

Correct Answer is B which is $ 358.47 for monthly payment

Answer 2

Monthly payments amount (P) is given by the following expression:

P = C*{(i/12)/[1-(1+i/12)^-12t}
C = Cost of the car = $19,999; i = financing rate = 2.9% = 0.029; t = time of payment in years = 5 years

Therefore,
P = 19999*{(0.029/12)/[1-(1+0.029/12)^-12*5} = $358.47

B. is the correct answer.
