Evaluating financing packages. Assume that you’ve been shopping for a new car and intend to finance part of it through an installment loan. The car you’re looking for has a sticker price of $18,000. Custom Vehicles has offered to sell it to you for $3,000 down and finance the balance with a loan that will require 48 monthly payments of $333.67. However, a competing dealership will sell you the exact same vehicle for $3,500 down, plus a 60-month loan for the balance, with monthly payments of $265.02. Which of these two financing packages is the better deal?

Evaluating financing packages. Assume that you’ve been shopping for a new car and intend to finance part of it through an installment loan. The car you’re looking for has a sticker price of $18,000. Custom Vehicles has offered to sell it to you for $3,000 down and finance the balance with a loan that will require 48 monthly payments of $333.67. However, a competing dealership will sell you the exact same vehicle for $3,500 down, plus a 60-month loan for the balance, with monthly payments of $265.02. Which of these two financing packages is the better deal?
Assume that you are on your way to purchase a new car. You have already applied and been accepted for an automobile loan through your local credit union. The loan can be for an amount up to $25,000, depending on the final price of the car you choose. The terms of the loan call for monthly payments for a period of four years at a stated interest rate equal to 6 percent. After selecting the car you want, you negotiate with the sales representative and agree on a purchase price of $24,000, which does not include any rebates or incentives. The rebate on the car you 24 chose is $3,000. The dealer offers “0% financing,” but you forfeit the $3,000 rebate if you take the “0% financing.” a. What are the monthly payments that you will have to make if you take the “0% financing”? (Hint: Because there is no interest, the total amount that has to be repaid is $24,000, which also equals the sum of all the payments.) b. What are the monthly payments if you finance the car with the credit union loan?…
We really want a new car and want to know if we can realistically afford it but also see how much interest we would end up paying in totality.If after talking to the sales person and spending a few hours at the dealearship, you were approved for a 42,000 loan with an annual percentage rate of 21.99% for a 7 year loan. What will your monthly payment be?Display in a plot the trajectory of payments over time, and trajectory of interest. Using this plot, when will most of your monthly payments go towards the principal balance and not the interest?
