Answer: $186.99
Work Shown:
The formula to use is
P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )
where,
P = monthly payment
L = loan amount
i = monthly interest rate in decimal form
n = number of months
In this case
L = 19000
i = 0.034/12 = 0.0028333 approximately
n = 10*12 = 120 months
Then,
P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )
P = (19000*0.0028333)/( 1-(1+0.0028333)^(-120) )
P = 186.994047599858
P = 186.99
