A commercial bank will loan you $20,000 for four years to buy a car. The loan must be repaid in 48 equal monthly payments. The annual interest rate on the loan is 6.00 percent of the unpaid balance. How large are the monthly payments?

Monthly payment = $469.701

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.  

The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:  

Monthly equal installment= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor  

Loan amount = 20,000

Monthly annuity factor  =

=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r  

r- Monthly interest rate (r)  

= 6/12= 0.5%  

n- Number of months ( n) = 20 × 4 = 48

Annuity factor  

= ( 1- (1.005)^(-48)/0.005= 42.5803

Monthly installment= 20,000 /42.5803  = $469.701

Monthly installment = $469.701

Monthly payment = $469.701

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
