Answer:

 48 MONTHS

PV = Down payment + $450(1 - (1 + r/m)-mn - 1)

                                                         r/m

PV = $5,000 + $450(1 - (1 + 0.12/12)-12x4 - 1)

                                            0.12/12

PV = $5,000 + $450(1 -(1 + 0.01)-48 - 1)

                                           0.01

PV = $5,000 + $450(37.9740)

PV = $5,000 + $17,088

PV = $22,088

60 MONTHS

PV = $5,000 + $450(1 - (1 + 0.12/12)-12x5 - 1)

                                            0.12/12

PV = $5,000 + $450(1 -(1 + 0.01)-60 - 1)

                                           0.01

PV = $5,000 + $450(44.9550)

PV = $5,000 + $20,230

PV = $22,230

         

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate the present value of the car which is a function of down payment plus the present value of the monthly payments at 12% discount rate.
