Based on the calculation done below, the payment on the 72-month car loan is $331.36 monthly.
The monthly payment of the car loan can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
M = PV / ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
M = Monthly payment = ?
PV = Present value or the car loan = $20,000
r = Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 5.99% / 12 = 0.059 /
12 = 0.00491666666666667
n = number of months = 72
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
M = $20,000 / ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.00491666666666667))^72) / 0.00491666666666667)
M = $331.36
