a) We can calculate the monthly loan payment by using the following formula in excel:-

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

Here,

Pmt = Monthly loan payment

Rate = 12%/12 = 1% (monthly)

Nper = 5*12 = 60 periods (monthly)

PV = $20,000

FV = $0

Substituting the values in formula:

= pmt(1%,60,-20000,0)

= $444.89

 

b) Computation of the EAR:-

EAR = (1+rate/n)^n-1

= (1+12%/12)^12-1

= 1.1268 - 1

= 12.68%
