Craig bought a new boat. he made a 18% down payment. he financed the rest through his bank for 4 years. his bank charged 4% per year compounded monthly and his monthly payments were $500. what was the original price of the boat?

$27,005.62

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Down payment made = 18%

Monthly payment = $500

Interest rate, i = 4% per year compounded monthly

Time = 4 years

Now,

Present value of annuity = Monthly payment ×

n = number of periods

Here,

number of periods , n = 4 × 12 = 48 months

Interest rate per period, i = 0.04 ÷ 12 = 0.003333

on substituting the values

Present value of annuity = $500 ×

or

Present value of annuity = $500 ×  

or

Present value of annuity = $500 ×

or

Present value of annuity = $500 × 44.289229

or

Present value of annuity = $22,144.61

also,

Present value of annuity is (100% - Down payment) i.e (100% - 18%) 82% of the original price

Therefore,

Original price of the boat =  $22,144.61 ÷ 82%

= $22,144.61 ÷ 0.82

= $27,005.62

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
