Suppose you negotiate a selling price of 27995 for a Ford Ex
Suppose you negotiate a selling price of $27,995 for a Ford Explorer. You make a down payment of 10% of the selling price and finance the remaining balance for 5 years at an annual interest rate of 7.6%. The sales tax is 7.6% of the selling price, and the license fee is 0.5% of the selling price. Find the monthly payment. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Solution
selling price =$27995
down payment = 10%(selling price)
=10/100* 27995 =2799.5
remaining balance= 27995-2799.5
=25195.5
sales tax = 7.6%(selling price)
= 7.6/100* 27995
=2127.62
license fee =0.5% of selling price
=0.5/100*27995
= $139.975
total money has to pay =25195.5+2127.62+139.75
= $27463.09
Total amount =$27463.09
time period = 5 years
Interset rate =7.6%
Interest = PTR/100
=27463.09*57.6/100
=10432.1742
total = 27463.09+10432.1742
= $37895.2695
for 5 years we have 60 months
monthly payment = 37895.2692/60
=$631.58
