Steve can afford a $330-per-month car payment. if he is being offered a 6-year car loan with an APR of 1.2%, compounded monthly, what is the value of the most expensive car he can afford?

Answer:

$ 3934.38 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the monthly payment formula of a loan,

[tex]P=\frac{PV(\frac{r}{12})}{1-(1+\frac{r}{12})^{-n}}[/tex]

Where,

PV = present value of loan,

r = annual rate of interest,

n = number of months,

If P = $ 330, r = 1.2% = 0.012,

Number of months in 6 years, n = 12 × 6 = 72

By substituting the values,

[tex]330 = \frac{PV(\frac{0.012}{12})}{1-(1+\frac{0.012}{12})^{-72}}[/tex]

[tex]330 =\frac{PV(0.001)}{1-(1.001)^{-12}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies PV = 330\times \frac{1-(1.001)^{-12}}{(0.001)}[/tex]

Using calculator,

PV ≈ $ 3934.38

Hence, the value of the most expensive car he can afford would be  $ 3934.38 ( approx )
