Question 3: Suppose Mary would like to purchase a new car today for $50,000. She will pay $6,500 as down payment towards this purchase and finance the balance over 7 years at an annual interest rate of 10.25%. The first payment will be made in exactly one month from the purchase date. Payments are made at the end of every month over the next 7 years. What is the loan amount? (2) What is the monthly interest rate? (2) How many monthly payments will be made? (2) Calculate the monthly payment required to fully pay off the loan in 7 years using both the formula and the function method. (8) Show that the present value of all the monthly payments is equal to the loan amount. Use the timeline method for this. (15)

7. An investment of $2200 earned interest at 9.2% per annum compounded quarterly. How much would the investment be worth in 6 years? 8. A car loan can be taken for 5 years. At an interest rate of 8.4% per annum compounded monthly, the total cost of the car loan would be $37993.41. What is the cost of the car if you pay cash for it today rather than take out the loan? 9. Karen made an investment of $2500 two years ago to go on a trip. She invested the money at 7.2% per annum compounded semi-annually. Her investment will mature in three years. Dwayne would also like to go on the trip. However, he hasn't started saving yet. How much must he invest today at 9.6% per annum compounded monthly to have the same amount as Karen will have three years from now?
