Solution 1

Lexi should use the following command to find her monthly payment:

=PMT(0.0312/12,3*12,2750)

This command is correct because the PMT function in Excel is used to calculate the monthly payment of a loan. The rate is the interest rate for the loan, which should be divided by 12 to get a monthly rate. The nper is the number of periods, which in this case is 3 years times 12 months per year. The PV is the present value or the amount of the loan, which is the cost of the new car (6,250)minustheinitialpayment(6,250) minus the initial payment (3,500), resulting in $2,750.

Solution 2

Lexi should use the following command to find her monthly payment:

=PMT(0.0312/12,3*12,2750)

This command is correct because the PMT function in Excel is used to calculate the monthly payment of a loan. The rate is the annual interest rate divided by 12 to get a monthly rate (0.0312/12). The nper is the number of periods, which is 3 years times 12 months (3*12). The PV is the present value, which is the amount of the loan. In this case, it's the cost of the new car (6,250)minustheinitialpayment(6,250) minus the initial payment (3,500), which equals $2,750.
