Answer 1

Answer:

monthly payment is $377

C is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the monthly payment is given by

$C=\frac{Prt(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}$

Given that,

P =  $20,000

n = 5 years = 60 months

r = 0.05

Substituting these values in the formula

$C=\frac{20000\cdot \frac{0.05}{12}(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{60}}{(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{60}-1}$

On simplifying, we get

$C=\ 377.425\\\\C\approx \ 377$

Therefore, the monthly payment is $377

C is the correct option.
