To calculate the monthly payments of the student loan, we can use the formula for calculating the monthly payment of a loan:
M = (P * r * (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
M = Monthly payment
P = Principal amount (loan amount)
r = Monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12)
n = Total number of payments (loan term in months)
Let's calculate the monthly payment for Zach's student loan:
P = $92,000
r = 3.24% / 100 / 12 = 0.0027 (monthly interest rate)
n = 10 years * 12 months/year = 120 months
M = ($92,000 * 0.0027 * (1 + 0.0027)^120) / ((1 + 0.0027)^120 - 1)
M ≈ $904.81
Therefore, the monthly payment for Zach's student loan would be approximately $904.81, rounded to the nearest cent
