### Financial Mathematics Problems

#### Problem One:
**Determine the monthly payment for a $30,000 car with no down payment, using 12% annual financing for a period of 5 years.**

To find the monthly payment (Pmt), you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Pmt} = \frac{P * r}{1 - (1 + r)^{-t}} \]

- **P** - Principal loan amount ($30,000)
- **r** - Monthly interest rate (annual rate of 12% divided by 12 months)
- **t** - Total number of payments (loan period in months, 5 years * 12 months/year)

**Steps:**

1. Convert annual rate to monthly rate:
   \[
   \text{Monthly rate} = \frac{12\%}{12} = 1\%
   \\
   r = \frac{12}{100 \times 12} = 0.01
   \]

2. Convert loan period to months:
   \[
   t = 5 \text{ years} \times 12 \text{ months/year} = 60 \text{ months}
   \]

3. Substitute these values into the formula:
   \[
   \text{Pmt} = \frac{30,000 \times 0.01}{1 - (1 + 0.01)^{-60}}
   \]

#### Problem Two:
**Credit Card Cycle:**

- **Beginning balance:** $2000
- **Annual rate:** 24%, which translates to 2% monthly
- **Purchases this month:** $145
- **Minimum payment per month:** $100

**Determine the ending balance.**

**Steps:**

1. Calculate interest for the month:
   \[
   \text{Interest} = \text{Beginning balance} \times \text{Monthly rate} 
   \\
   = 2000 \times 0.02 = 40
   \]

2. Add purchases and interest to the beginning balance:
   \[
   \text{New balance before payment} = 2000 + 40 + 145 = 2185
   \]

3. Subtract the minimum payment:
   \[
   \text{Ending balance} = 2185 - 100 = 2085
   \]

Thus, the ending balance of the credit card for
