I have this problem: A car is purchased by 12 million by paying 48 monthly fee due to x each quarterly fee due and 400 000 each for four years. If a rate of 44 % annual effective, determine the value of x . Answer is $353 137.09 Usually, in problems I've seen, annuity is separated, but here is combined. I tried solving by present and future value, but I always get a negative value, and really far from the answer. Last edited by skipjack; May 4th, 2015 at 11:59 PM.

Hint:
1: calculate k : how much can be borrowed at the quarterly payment

2: calculate the monthly payment on 12000000 - k
