Respuesta :

The amount of interest i.e. accrued after the first month is $90.12.

  • The calculation is as follows:

The cost of car = [tex]19,725\times (1.0475)[/tex]

= 20,661.9375

The Down payment is 2,175

Now

balance amount, P =  20661.9375 - 2175

= 18,487

And, the interest for an average rating of a new car is 5.85%

So the interest accrued in the first month is

[tex]= 18,487\times 0.0585\div 12[/tex]

= $90.12
