Estimate the monthly payment of a 10 years loan of €100,000 using an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 2.4 %. Assume monthly payments are constant during the term of the loan  

Hint: annuity formula

A. 833.33 €

B. 938.16 €

C. 200.68 €

D. 2400.00€

B. 938,16

-----------------

APR 2.4% therefore monthly rate 0.2% 

10 years are 120 months 

PV       100,000   

(1+0.2%)^-120     = 0.79   

(1-[(1+0.2%)^-120])  =  0,21   

CF .(1-[(1+0,20%)^-120]) = 100.000 . 0,20% 

CF .(1-[(1+0,20%)^-120]) = 200 

CF = 938.16   

The monthly payment is 938.16€
