QUESTION 12
A landscaping company buys a new bulldozer for $61,000.00.
The company makes a down payment of $15,000.00 and finances the balance at 6.0% APR over 60
months.
The monthly payment is $889.33.
A split second after making the 12th payment, the company owner decides to pay the remaining
balance on the loan.
What is the total amount due to pay off the balance? Use the actuarial method.
If you use the Finance Charge Table 11.2, page 632, and the "unearned interest formula", page 635,
in your textbook to solve this problem, the result will match exactly with one of the answers. If you
use a spreadsheet to do the computation, your result will not match exactly with any of the
answers, but it will differ only very little (mostly less than $1) from the "correct" answer.
