Answer:

  $503.85

Step-by-step explanation:

The amortization formula can help with this.

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-n))

where P is the loan value, A is the monthly payment, r is the annual interest rate, and n is the number of monthly payments.

We want to find P. All of the other values are given.

  P = A(1 -(1 +r/12)^-n)/(r/12)

  P = 32.48(1 -1.012667^-18)/(0.012667) = 31.48·16.0054

  P ≈ 503.85

The equivalent cash price is about $503.85.
