Answer: $31,513.65
my monthly payment (principal) would be closest to $31,514
Explanation:
Using compound interest formula below to find the principal
A = p (1 + r/n)^nt
A= amount = $34,000
r = annual nominal rate = 1.9% = 0.019
n = number of compounding ; monthly compounding means 12 interest payments in a year
P= principal
t= time in years 48months = 48/12years = 4years
34,000 = p (1 + 0.019/12)^12(4)
34,000 = p (1 + 0.00158333333)^48
34,000 = p ( 1.00158333333)^48
34,000 = 1.07889755p
Divide both sides by 1.07889755
P = $31,513.6502
≈$31,514 to nearest whole number.
