Bryan agrees to pay back a $50,000 loan over a 10-year period. If the interest rate is 8%, what will his monthly payments be?
$450
$540
$3,333
$5,400
Detailed Explanation
The interest on a 50,000 loan is 50,000 × 8% = 4,000. The amount that must be paid back is 50,000 + 4,000 = 54,000.
There are 120 months in 10 years.
If this is to be paid over a 10-year period, each monthly payment will be 54,000 ÷ 120 = 450.
