- Financial Accounting Questionarrow_forwardWhat is the investment turnover for this financial accounting question?arrow_forwardSuppose you take out a five-year car loan for $14000, paying an annual interest rate of 4%. You make monthly payments of $258 for this loan. Complete the table below as you pay off the loan.

- Suppose you take out a five-year car loan for $12000, paying an annual interest rate of 3%. You make monthly payments of $216 for this loan. mocars Getting started (month 0): Here is how the process works. When you buy the car, right at month 0, you owe the full $12000. Applying the 3% interest to this (3% is "3 per $100" or "0.03 per $1"), you would owe 0.03*$12000 = $360 for the year. Since this is a monthly loan, we divide this by 12 to find the interest payment of $30 for the month. You pay $216 for the month, so $30 of your payment goes toward interest (and is never seen again...), and (216-30) = $186 pays down your loan. (Month 1): You just paid down $186 off your loan, so you now owe $11814 for the car. Using a similar process, you would owe 0.03* $11814 = $354.42 for the year, so (dividing by 12), you owe $29.54 in interest for the month. This means that of your $216 monthly payment, $29.54 goes toward interest and $186.46 pays down your loan. The values from above are included…arrow_forwardSuppose you have an investment account that earns an annual 9% interest rate, compounded monthly.
