Expert Solution
Step 1 : loan payment calculation

Loan payment is calculated using Present value of annuity formula which is given as follows

PV = E(1-(1+r)-p)/r

Where

E = monthly payments =?

r = monthly rate = 14%/12 = 1.166%

P = monthly instalments = 48

PV = loan amount = cash price - down payment = 96000000 * (1- 1/4) = 72000000

Therefore, 

72000000 = E(1-1.01167-48)/0.01167 

72000000 = E * 36.5919

E = $1967651 per month
