Answer 1

Answer:

Monthly payment= $18,979.05

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Loan (PV)= 3,000,000*0.8= $2,400,000

Monthly interest rate (i)= 0.05/12= 0.00416667

Number of periods (n)= 15*12= 180 months

To calculate the monthly payment, we need to use the following formula:

Monthly payment= (PV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]

Monthly payment= (2,400,000*0.00416667) / [1 - (1.00416667^-180)]

Monthly payment= $18,979.05
