Question

I need to know how much will my monthly payment be?

Answer 1

Given:

Loan = P = $48,000

Simple interest rate = r = 2% = 0.02

Time = t = 9 years

So,

The interest = I =

`I=P\cdot r\cdot t=48000\cdot0.02\cdot9=8640`

Total amount =

`48000+8640=56640`

To find the monthly payments, we will divide the total amount over the number of months of the nine years

so,

The monthly payments =

`(56640)/(9\cdot12)=524.44`
