If the monthly installment of both the scenarios are equal, then we would be indifferent between both these cases
In first case, Loan is taken on entire payable amount of the automobile i.e. loan amount = $35,000
Financing rate = 2.3% APR compounded monthly
So, monthly rate = 2.3/12 = 0.19%
Payable period = 60 months
Lets assume monthly installment be 'm'Sum of present value of all the monthly installments should be equal to the loan amount i.e. $35,000
To calculate the present value (PV) of a cash flow, we need to discount it by the required return.
PV = cash flown/(1+r)n,
where cash flown is cash flow in period n, r is required rate of return, n is time period
Sum of present values = CF1/(1+r)1 + CF2/(1+r)2 + ................... + CFn-1/(1+r)n-1 + CFn/(1+r)n
In this case, all cash flows are monthly installment i.e. 'm'
Now, putting all the values in the equation
35,000 = m/(1+0.0019)1 + m/(1+0.0019)2 + ........................... + m/(1+0.0019)59 + m/(1+0.0019)60
35,000 = m*56.63
Solving this, we get m = $618.08
i.e. Monthly installment = $618.08
In second case, a rebate is offered on the loan
Lets assume the rebate amount = $x
So, the remaining loan amount = $(35000-x)
Financing rate = 9.1% APR compounded monthly.
So, monthly rate = 9.1/12 = 0.76%
Time period = 60 months
To be indifferent between both the scenarios, monthly installment should be same
Therefore, monthly installment in this case = $618.08
The loan amount would be the sum of present value of all the monthly payments
So, Loan amount = 618.08/(1+0.0076)1 + 618.08/(1+0.0076)1 + ............................. + 618.08/(1+0.0076)59 + 618.08/(1+0.0076)60
Solving this we get loan amount equal to $29,705.31
So the rebate amount = 35000 - loan amount = 35000 - 39705.31 = $5294.69
Instant rebate = $5,295
