You want to buy a car, and a local bank will lend you $20,000. The loan will be fully amortized over 5 years (60 months), and th
EastWind [94]
Amortizing a loan P over n periods at i% interest / period, the payment per period is given by:
A= P(i(1+i)^n)/((1+i)^n-1)

In given situation,
P=20000
period=month
i=10%/12
n=5*12=60 months

A.  monthly payment amount
A= P(i(1+i)^n)/((1+i)^n-1)
= 20000(.1/12(1+.1/12)^60)/((1+.1/12)^60-1)
=424.98 to the nearest cent

B. EAR (effective annual rate)
the APR is 10%, but compounded monthly.
So 
EAR=(1+i/12)^12-1
=(1+0.1/12)^12-1
=0.104713
=10.4713%  (effective annual rate)

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Inductive reasoning.

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning is a form of reasoning in which the truth of the premises supports the conclusion, but does not guarantee it. A classic example of inductive reasoning is:

  1. All the crows observed so far have been black
  2. Therefore, all crows are black

In principle, it could be that the next crow observed is not black. In contrast to deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning has the advantage of being expansive, that is, the conclusion contains more information than is contained in the premises. Given its expansive nature, inductive reasoning is very useful and frequent in science and in everyday life. However, given its fallible nature, its justification is problematic. When are we justified in making an inductive inference, and concluding, for example, that all crows are black from a limited sample of them? What distinguishes a good inductive argument from a bad one? These and other related problems give rise to the problem of induction, whose validity and importance has continued for centuries.
