Monthly rate = 12/1,200 = .01
Monthly pmt = (rate + [rate /(1+rate)^months -1]) * principal
Monthly pmt = (.01 + [.01 / ((1.01)^24 -1)]) * 5,000
Monthly pmt = (.01 + [.01 / <span>.2697346485]) * 5,000
</span>
<span>Monthly pmt = (.01 + 0.0370734722) * 5,000
</span><span>Monthly pmt = 0.0470734722 * 5,000
</span><span>Monthly pmt = 235.37
