Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 16P
You have decided to purchase a new automobile with a hybrid-fueled engine and a six-speed transmission. After the trade-in of your present car, the purchase price of the new automobile is $30,000. This balance can be financed by the auto dealer at 2.9% APR (compounded monthly) and repaid over 48 monthly payments. Alternatively, you can get an instant rebate on the purchase price if you finance the loan balance at an APR of 8.9% (compounded monthly) over 48 months. Determine the amount of the instant rebate that would make you indifferent between the financing plans.

A 22-year-old college graduate just got a job in Nashville. She is considering buying a house with a $200,000 mortgage. The APR is 4% compounded monthly for her monthly mortgage payments on a 30-year fixed rate loan. If she can get her FICO score up to 750, the APR drops to 3.6%. How much in interest cost will she save over the life of the loan assuming she can increase her FICO score to 750?
Parents deposit $5,000 into a savings account at the end of each year for 22
years to help their child pay for college. The savings account pays 10%
interest per year, compounded monthly. The child withdrawals an equal sum
twice per year while in college (years 19 through 22). After the last
withdrawal at the end of year 22, there is $8,000 remaining in the account.
How much was each semi-annual withdrawal in year 19 through 22? Express
your answer in $ to the nearest $100.
You borrow $20,000 to purchase a car and will repay the loan in uniform monthly payments for the
next 48 months. The first payment is due one month after the purchase of the car. If the interest rate
is 1% per month, determine the amount of your monthly car payment. Assuming you make each
payment as scheduled, how much total interest will you pay over the four-year period?
