Question

Mark Green is considering buying a new Honda Accord. The purchase price of the car is $21,000 but Mark has a trade-in worth $4500. Mark needs a loan to buy the car and knows that his local bank requires him to put down 10% of the purchase price after the value of the trade-in is considered. Mark also knows that bank will charge 8% for the loan and require monthly payments over the next 4 years. What is the minimum down payment that Mark can make

Answer 1

Answer:

the minimum down payment that Mark can make is $1,650

Explanation:

The computation of the  minimum down payment that Mark can make is given below:

Purchase price $21,000  

Less: Trade In -$4,500

Net price $16,500

So, the down payment needed should be

= 10% of $16,500

= $1,650

Hence, the minimum down payment that Mark can make is $1,650
