Example: A bulldozer worth $100,000 is being purchased in September. The first payment is due one month later, and payments will continue over a period of 5 years. Due to the weather, the machinery will not be used during the winter months, and the purchaser does not wish to make payments during January, February, and March (months 4 thru 6). If the current interest rate is 14%, what is the monthly payment necessary to amortize the loan?
