Chapter 10.3, Problem 10MS
I want my ATV! You want to purchase a cool, yellow all-terrain vehicle. With all the bells and whistles, the cost of the vehicle is $34,000 (well, actually there are no whistles, but a bell does go off if you forget to turn off the lights). You make a down payment of $5000 and borrow the rest at 4% annual interest for 10 years. What are your equal monthly payments?
