Answer:

$16,966.68

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost of the car = down payment + present value of the monthly installment payments

  • down payment = $6,500
  • PV of monthly installment payments = $580 x 18.046 (PV annuity factor, 1%, 20 periods) = $10,466.68

the cost of the car = $6,500 + $10,466.68 = $16,966.68
