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?
4-51. A cash flow series increases geometrically at the
rate of 6% per year. The initial payment in the first
year is $5000 with increasing annual payment ending
at the end of 20 years. The interest rate in effect is
15% compounded annually for the first eight years and
5% compounded annually for the 12 remaining years.
Find the present amount that is equivalent to the cash
flow? (4.12)
