Group members should go to the Internet and select a car that they might like to buy. Price the car and its options. Then find two loans with the best rates, but with different terms. For each loan, calculate the monthly payments and total interest.
In terms of paying less in interest, which is more economical for a $$ 90,000\( mortgage: a 30 -year fixed-rate at \)8 \%\( or a 15 -year fixed-rate at \)7.5 \%$ ? How much is saved in interest?
The unpaid balance of an installment loan is equal to the present value of the remaining payments. The unpaid balance, \(P\), is given by $$ P=P M T \frac{\left[1-\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{-n t}\right]}{\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)}, $$
You would like to have \(\$ 4000\) in four years for a special vacation following college graduation by making deposits at the end of every six months in an annuity that pays \(7 \%\) compounded semiannually. a. How much should you deposit at the end of every six months? b. How much of the \(\$ 4000\) comes from deposits and how much comes from interest?
Suppose that you are buying a car for \(\$ 60,000\), including taxes and license fees. You saved \(\$ 10,000\) for a down payment. The dealer is offering you two incentives: Incentive \(\mathrm{A}\) is \(\$ 5000\) off the price of the car, followed by a five-year loan at \(734 \%\). Incentive \(\mathrm{B}\) does not have a cash rebate, but provides free financing (no interest) over five years. What is the difference in monthly payments between the two offers? Which incentive is the better deal?
