.
Now he will repay on monthly payments over 10 years:
.
120 payments
0.04/12 = 0.003333 monthly interest rate
.
1 + 0.003333 = 1.003333
1.003333^120 = 1.49077
1 - 1.49077 = 0.49077
0.003333/0.49077 = 0.00679
0.003333 + 0.00679 = 0.010123
.
13527.24 * 0.010123 = 136.93 (round it to 137) each monthly payment
.
