In one year, the interest that Jordan will pay on a loan to purchase a car that costs $15,000 with a downpayment of $3,000 at 5% APR for 5 years is $600.
How is interest calculated?
The interest can be computed using an online finance calculator for the 5 years period.
However, to calculate interest for one year, especially the first year, the loan amount is multiplied by the APR, as below.
Data and Calculations:
Cost of car = $15,000
Down payment = $3,000
Car loan = $12,000 ($15,000 - $3,000)
APR = 5%
Loan period = 5 years
Interest for one year (first year) = $600 ($12,000 x 5%)
Thus, the interest for the first year is $600.
