You just bought a new Jeep Wrangler and secured dealer financing for $26,500 over 60 months at an interest rate of 1.0% per month (which is extremely high, but maybe your credit was bad, or you had no previous credit). How much are your monthly car payments? Your answer should be accurate to the nearest penny.
After paying on your car loan for 12 months, you find out that you can refinance the loan at your parents’ credit union with a 48-month loan at an interest rate of 0.75% per month. How much do you have to borrow from the credit union to pay off the balance remaining on the original loan you got from the dealer? State your answer to the nearest dollar.
