Respuesta :

Answer:

monthly payment is $377

C is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the monthly payment is given by

[tex]C=\frac{Prt(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex]

Given that,

P =  $20,000

n = 5 years = 60 months

r = 0.05

Substituting these values in the formula

[tex]C=\frac{20000\cdot \frac{0.05}{12}(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{60}}{(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{60}-1}[/tex]

On simplifying, we get

[tex]C=\$377.425\\\\C\approx \$377[/tex]

Therefore, the monthly payment is $377

C is the correct option.
