Question 1187350: 2. Assume you want to purchase television set at a cost of $184,000. You are able to make a down payment of $24,000 and will borrow $160,000 for 5 years at an interest rate of 7.80%. How much is your monthly payment?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the purchase price is 184,000.
the down payment is 24,000.
the amount of the loan is 184,000 - 24,000 = 160,000.
the term of the loan is 5 yearss.
the interest rate of the loan is 7.8% per year compounded monthly.
divide that by 12 to get an interest rate of 7.8/12 = .65% per month.
multiply the number of years by 12 to get 5 * 12 = 60 months.

the payment at the end of each month will be equal to 3228.93 rounded to the nearest penny.
