Explanation / Answer

Answer a:

Amount finance = $7,880

Given:

Cash price = $7,880

Down payment = $0

Hence, amount financed = $7,880 - $0 = $7,880

Answer b:

Finance charge = $3,251.80

Given:

Monthly payment = $185.53

Number of payments = 60

Hence finance charge = $185.53 * 60 - $7,880 = $3,251.80

Answer c:

APR by formula = 14.53%

Using Excel formula for RATE (nper,Pmt,pv, fv, type)

Answer d:

Monthly payment by add-on method = $226.75

Total interest charged (over life span of loan) = $7,880 * 14.53%/12 * 60 = $5,724.82

Monthly payment = ( Total interest + principal) / number of periods/months = ($5,724.82 + $7,880) / 60 = $226.75  

Answer e:

Monthly payment by formula = $185.53

Monthly payment = P * r *(1+ r)n  / [(1+ r)n - 1]

where P = Principal, r = rate of interest and n = number of periods

= $7,880 * 14.53%/12 * (1+ 14.53%/12)60  / [(1+ 14.53%/12)60- 1]

= $7,880 * 14.53%/12 * 2.058827885 / 1.058827885

= $185.53
