Problema Solution
The interest on a car loan is advertised to be 6.25% per year compounded monthly. If you plan on taking out a loan of 15,000 to buy a car and repaying the loan 4 years later, how much will you owe at that time?
Answer provided by our tutors
P = $15,000
r = 0.0625 or 6.25%
t = 4 years
A = the future value
A = P(1 + r/12)^(12t)
A = 15000(1 + 0.0625/12)^(12*4)
