Ursula needs $19,000 or in other words FV (Future value)

She has savings of $2000 and trade in of $800 or in other words she has $2800. She needs to borrow $16200 (19000-2800)

Also, she wants monthly payment to be $282. To find which answer fits best, let's check each of them.

A) APR =78% or mothly rate of 78/12 = 6.5%; 48 months

Using financial calculator:
