He financed the vehicle at 6.76% APR over 48 months with a monthly payment of $619.15. Determine, from the given information, the finance charge.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
R = $619.15 periodic payment
i = 0.0676/12 the rate per month
n = 48 periods
S = the future value of an ordinary annuity
S = R[((1 + i)^n - 1)/i]
S = 619.15*[(1 + 0.0676/12)^48 - 1)/(0.0676/12)]
S = $34,015.99

the interest is $34,015.99 - $32,000 = $2,015.99 is the finance charge.
