To calculate the monthly payment for a $40,000 loan over 84 months with excellent credit, we'll use the same estimated interest rates from earlier (around 4.33% to 4.99% APR).

Loan Details:

• Loan Amount: $40,000
• Loan Term: 84 months (7 years)
• Interest Rates: Between 4.33% and 4.99%.

Monthly Payment Calculation:

Using the formula for calculating monthly payments on an auto loan: [ M = P \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} ]

1. For 4.33% APR:

   • Monthly interest rate (r = \frac{4.33%}{12} = \frac{0.0433}{12} \approx 0.0036083)
   • Number of payments (n = 84) [ M \approx 40000 \times \frac{0.0036083(1 + 0.0036083)^{84}}{(1 + 0.0036083)^{84} - 1} \approx 526.45 \text{ USD} ]

2. For 4.99% APR:

   • Monthly interest rate (r = \frac{4.99%}{12} = \frac{0.0499}{12} \approx 0.0041583) [ M \approx 40000 \times \frac{0.0041583(1 + 0.0041583)^{84}}{(1 + 0.0041583)^{84} - 1} \approx 553.95 \text{ USD} ]

Summary of Monthly Payments:

• At 4.33% APR: Approximately $526.45 per month.
• At 4.99% APR: Approximately $553.95 per month.

Therefore, depending on the exact interest rate due to your excellent credit, your monthly car payment on a $40,000 loan would likely fall between approximately $526 and $554 over 84 months.
