Bernie has decided to purchase a new car with a list price of $18,575. Sales tax in Bernie's state is 7.40%, and he will
be responsible for a $795 vehicle registration fee and a $110 documentation fee. Bernie plans to trade in his existing
car, a 1999 Buick Riviera in good condition, and finance the rest of the cost for five years at an interest rate of 12.77%,
compounded monthly. Assuming that the dealer gives Bernie the listed trade-in price for his car, what will his monthly
payment be? Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.
