Do not round intermediate computations, and round your answers to the nearest cent. If necessary, refer to the list of financial formulas. (a) His credit union has offered him a 8 -year small business loan at an annual interest rate of \( 10.4 \% \). Find the monthly payment. s \( \square 7 \) (b) A savings and loan association has offered him a 9 -year small business loan at an annual interest rate of \( 10.4 \% \). Find the monthly payment. \( s \square \) (c) Suppose Deandre pays the monthly payment each month for the full term. Which lender's small business loan would have the lowest total amount to pay off, and by how much? Credit union The total amount paid would be \( \$ \square \) less than to the savings and loan association. Savings and loan association The total amount paid would be \( s \square \) less than to the credit union.

Beyond the Answer
To calculate the monthly payments for both lenders, we'll use the amortization formula: \[ M = P \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \] where: - \( M \) is the monthly payment, - \( P \) is the loan amount (\$84,000), - \( r \) is the monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12), - \( n \) is the total number of payments (years * 12). (a) For the credit union's offer: - \( P = 84,000 \) - \( r = \frac{10.4\%}{12} = 0.0086667 \) - \( n = 8 \times 12 = 96 \) Plugging the numbers into the formula gives: \[ M = 84000 \frac{0.0086667(1 + 0.0086667)^{96}}{(1 + 0.0086667)^{96} - 1} \] Calculating this yields: \[ M \approx \$1,235.69 \] (b) For the savings and loan association's offer: - \( P = 84,000 \) - \( r = \frac{10.4\%}{12} = 0.0086667 \) - \( n = 9 \times 12 = 108 \) Using the same formula: \[ M = 84000 \frac{0.0086667(1 + 0.0086667)^{108}}{(1 + 0.0086667)^{108} - 1} \] Calculating this gives: \[ M \approx \$1,246.95 \] (c) Now, to find out which loan has a lower total payment: - For the credit union: Total payment = \( M \times n = 1235.69 \times 96 \approx \$118,815.79 \) - For the savings and loan association: Total payment = \( M \times n = 1246.95 \times 108 \approx \$134,801.60 \) Comparing total payments: - Credit union total payment: \( \$118,815.79 \) - Savings and loan total payment: \( \$134,801.60 \) Thus, the credit union's loan would cost: \[ \$134,801.60 - \$118,815.79 \approx \$15,985.81 \] So, Deandre should choose the credit union's loan, saving him about \( \$15,985.81 \).
