Answer:

Annuity payment = $2322.97

Effective annual interest rate = 7.55%

Explanation:

The price of sports coupe (present value ) = $74900

Interest rate = 7.3 % per annum

Monthly interest rate = 7.3 / 12 = 0.6083%

Number of months = 36

Now find the monthly payment.

Present value = annuity amount ×[(1-(1+r)^-n) / r]  

74900 = annuity amount × [(1-(1+ 0.6083%)^-36) / 0.6083%]

Annuity payment = $2322.97

Effective annual interest rate = (1+ APR/number of period)^n -1

Effective annual interest rate =(1+ 7.3%/12)^12 – 1

Effective annual interest rate = 7.55%
