What will Chasity's monthly payment be if she must pay off the pool within four years after the deferment period? (4 points)

$297.41



$193.13



$560.59



$211.12

Answer 1

$297.41

Explanation:

Given that:

Amount = 9270

Derferred period = 6 months = 0.5 yr

Rate = 17.95% = 0.1795

Amount = 9270(1 + 0.1795)^0.5

Amount = 9270(1.1795)^0.5

Amount = 10067.663

PV = 10067.663

Number of months, n = 48

Monthly amount to be paid :

rp = rate per period = 0.1795/12 = 0.0149583

(rp * PV) / 1 - (1 + rp)^-n

(0.0149583 * 10067.663) / 1 - (1 + 0.0149583)^-48

150.5951234529 / 0.5096723

= 295.47441

Closest option is $297.41
