o  Note that interest rates are always given as annual rates. If the payments are monthly, then the annual interest rate  needs to be divided by 12 in order to get the rate per month. Use monthly rates in your calculations when the payments are monthly. Similarly, if the payments are monthly, then N is the number of months (not the number of years).
