Frank purchased a car for $14,870. he made a down payment of $1,640. he applied for a five-year installment loan with an interest rate of 9.6%. what is the total cost of the car after five years? a.) $14,500.08 b.) $16,297.52 c.) $16,710.00 d.) $18,350.00

d.) $18,350.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original value of the car = $ 14,870,

Down payment = $ 1,640,

So, the present value of the loan, PV = original value - down payment

= $ 14,870 - $ 1,640,

= $ 13,230,

Rate of interest per year = 9.6% = 0.096,

So, the monthly rate, r =   ( ∵ 1 year = 12 months )

Time = 5 years,

So, the number of installments, n = 12 × 5 = 60,

Thus, the amount of each installment of the loan,

≈ $ 278.50,

Hence, the total value of the car after 5 years = each installment × number of installments + down payment

= 278.50 × 60 + 1640

= 16710 + 1640

= $ 18,350.00
