His term is 18 periods, at a period interest rate of 12/18

200*18=LAMT(1+.12/18)^18=LAMT*1.12704794

LAMT=3600 / 1.12704794 = 3194.18533

Wont it be 18/12 ?
Answered by HM
is that the correct answer?
Answered by bobpursley
The above is interest compounded monthly. Here it is compounded annually.

200*18=LAMT(1+.12)^1.5=LAMT*1.185

lamt= 3600/1.185=3037.21

You wrote, "There is a choice to click no choice correct too."

So choose "no choice" when the numbers don't match.

LAMT is meant to be loan amount.
