In Exercises 1-10, use $$ P M T=\frac{P\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)}{\left[1-\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{-n t}\right]} $$ Round answers to the nearest dollar. Suppose that you decide to borrow \(\$ 40,000\) for a new car. You can select one of the following loans, each requiring regular monthly payments: Installment Loan A: three-year loan at \(6.1 \%\) Installment Loan B: five-year loan at \(7.2 \%\). a. Find the monthly payments and the total interest for \(\operatorname{Loan} A\). b. Find the monthly payments and the total interest for Loan B. c. Compare the monthly payments and the total interest for the two loans.
Describe two aspects of responsible credit card use.
Suppose that you decide to buy a car for \(\$ 37,925\), including taxes and license fees. You saved \(\$ 12,000\) for a down payment and can get a five-year loan at \(6.58 \%\). Find the monthly payment and the total interest for the loan.
Suppose that you are buying a car for \(\$ 56,000\), including taxes and license fees. You saved \(\$ 8000\) for a down payment. The dealer is offering you two incentives: Incentive \(\mathrm{A}\) is \(\$ 10,000\) off the price of the car, followed by a four-year loan at \(12.5 \%\). Incentive \(\mathrm{B}\) does not have a cash rebate, but provides free financing (no interest) over four years. What is the difference in monthly payments between the two offers? Which incentive is the better deal?
In Exercises 1-10, use $$ P M T=\frac{P\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)}{\left[1-\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{-n t}\right]} $$ Round answers to the nearest dollar. Suppose that you borrow \(\$ 10,000\) for four years at \(8 \%\) toward the purchase of a car. Find the monthly payments and the total interest for the loan.
