Question

Yu-Feng Liang bought a used car for $8000. He made a down payment of $1000 and paid off the balance in 48 monthly payments of $202 each.

What was the APR? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Value of Down Payment = $1000

Monthly payment of $202 for 48 months

Total Payment made by Yu-Feng ==$1000+48×202=$10,696

Interest on the  cost =$10,696-$8000 =$2,696

Let APR be r%

t=48 months=4 years

8000×r100×4=2696r=8.425%
