Monthly payments amount (P) is given by the following expression:

P = C*{(i/12)/[1-(1+i/12)^-12t}
C = Cost of the car = $19,999; i = financing rate = 2.9% = 0.029; t = time of payment in years = 5 years

Therefore,
P = 19999*{(0.029/12)/[1-(1+0.029/12)^-12*5} = $358.47

B. is the correct answer.

Correct Answer is B which is $ 358.47 for monthly payment
