So, her monthly EMI becomes =

So, rate is 5.875/12/100 = 0.0049

n = 30*12 = 360

So, putting these values in formula we get:

= = $1099.81 ≈ $1100

Now, we have been asked, how much rent should Shauna charge, if she only wants to spend $400 a month of her own money?

So, her total monthly installment is $ 1100 and she will contribute her $400.
