1. Suppose that you borrow $20,000 at 9%, compounded monthly, over five years. Knowing that the 9% represents the market interest rate, the monthly payment in actual dollars will be $415.17. If the average monthly general inflation rate is expected to be 0.5%, what is the equivalent equal monthly payment series in constant dollars? $359 $405 $415 $375
