Answer: $709.89
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 = 40,000
i = 0.025/12 = 0.00208333 approximately
n = 5*12 = 60 months
Then,
P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )
P = (40000*0.00208333)/( 1-(1+0.00208333)^(-60) )
P = 709.894393670184
P = 709.89
