You are considering purchasing a car with a sticker price of $36,270 (non negotiable with no down payment required). You wish to make monthly payments for six years and the most that you would like to pay is $600 a month. Your local bank/credit union has agreed to loan you the money at a 4.29% annual interest rate. Create an amortization table reporting the beginning/ending loan balance, total payment, the portion of payment going to interest and principal, and remaining loan balance. Create a IF statement that answers the question of whether you can afford the loan. What is your monthly loan payment and what is the total interest paid on the loan
