You are offered a deal to make a $1,800 down payment now and to pay the balance in equal end-of-month payments of $421.85 over a 48-month period.

What would be your monthly payment to pay off the loan in four years?(b) If you were to accept the dealer's offer, what would be the effective rate of interest per month charged by the dealer on your financing?
