a. D.P. = 0.05 * 20,800 = $1,040.

b. Po = 20,800 - 1040 = $19,760 = Amt. borrowed.

c. P = Po*r*t/(1-(1+r)^-t).

r = 0.0325/12 = 0.0027/mo.
t = 4yrs. * 12mo./yr. = 48 mo.

P = (19,760*0.0027*48)/(1-1.0027^-48) = $21,034.03.

21,034.03/48mo. = $438.21/mo.

d. $21,034.03 + 1040 = $22074.03 = Total cost.

e. I = P-Po.
