Mark Green is considering buying a new Honda Accord. The purchase price of the car is $21,000 but Mark has a trade-in worth $4500. Mark needs a loan to buy the car and knows that his local bank requires him to put down 10% of the purchase price after the value of the trade-in is considered. Mark also knows that bank will charge 8% for the loan and require monthly payments over the next 4 years. Mark's monthly payments are 353.50 per month. What is Mark's total finance charge if he takes the full 4 years to pay off the loan

    The finance charge is $2,118

    Explanation:

    The fund that Mark is going to fund through loan = $21000 - $4500

    = $16,500

    This means that the total finance that the bank requires is $4500 plus ten percent of $16500.

    Which is:

    Down payment = $4500 + $16,500*10% = $6150

    The interest would be charged on the remainder amount = $21,000 - $6150 = $14,850

    The total interest paid over four year period = $353.5 * 12 months * 4 years

    = $16,968

    The net difference is the interest paid which is:

    Interest Paid / Finance Charge = $16,968 - $14,850 = $2118
