Start with a 3% loan (entered as .03) and increase by one (1) or two (2) percent each turn. In each case choose between 5 and 7 years to pay it back. Describe one of the monthly payments you would have to make based on your selections. Loan amount? Interest rate? Years to pay it back? Monthly payment? Does total car cost? Discuss the potential impact a car payment of that size might have on your monthly budget. Describe the other monthly expenses you would have to remove or reduce to make your payments.
