Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Part A:

PV = 74200

Rate = 6.6%/12

Nper = 60

FV = 0

PMT = ? (indicates monthly payment)

Monthly Payment = PMT(Rate,Nper,PV,FV) = PMT(6.6%/12,60,-74200,0) = $1455.29

--------

Part B:

Effective Annual Rate = (1+APR/12)^12 - 1 = (1+6.60%/12)^12 - 1 = 6.80%

Thanks.
