The Car Payment You see an ad for a used car that you would like to buy. The ad says that the dealer will give anyone a $500 trade in on his or her old vehicle. The asking price for the car (before trade-in) is $4,000. They will offer you a 4% interest rate for a 3-year loan. What is the amount you need to finance? Use the PMT function to determine what your monthly payments will be. Copy the work, and then use the Goal Seek tool to determine what the asking price of the car, before trade-in, would have to be to make a monthly payment of $70. Show both scenarios in your worksheet. The CS110 Grade Book Recreate the table shown below. Determine the average for each students final grade. Alphabetize the list.
