a) what is the maximum he could borrow ?

b) how much interest would he pay?

PV = FV / [1 + R]^N

 

PV = 18,500 / [1 + 0.0535/4]^(24/3)

PV = 18,500 / 1.013375^8

PV = 18,500 / 1.11214519

PV = $16,634.52 - This is what Glen can afford to borrow.

 

$18,500 - $16,634.52 = $1,865.48 - This is the interest that Glen has to pay.
