The problem involves a fishmonger, Nielsen, buying a vehicle costing 600,000 kr. The financing terms include a 7-year loan with monthly payments and an interest rate of 0.25% per month. We need to:

### a) Verify the monthly payment is 7,927.98 kr.
### b) Determine the remaining debt after 5 years.

#### Let's break down each part.

---

### Part (a) - Monthly Payment Calculation

To calculate the monthly payment for a loan, we can use the annuity formula for monthly payments:

\[
M = \frac{P \cdot r \cdot (1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1}
\]

where:
- \( M \) is the monthly payment,
- \( P = 600,000 \) kr is the loan principal,
- \( r = 0.0025 \) (0.25% monthly interest rate in decimal form),
- \( n = 7 \times 12 = 84 \) (total number of payments over 7 years).

#### Plugging in the values:

\[
M = \frac{600,000 \times 0.0025 \times (1 + 0.0025)^{84}}{(1 + 0.0025)^{84} - 1}
\]

Calculating this will confirm if \( M \approx 7,927.98 \) kr.

### Part (b) - Remaining Debt After 5 Years

To find the remaining debt after 5 years, we can use the remaining balance formula for an amortizing loan, which calculates the balance after a certain number of payments.

The remaining balance \( B \) after \( k \) payments is given by:

\[
B = P \cdot \frac{(1 + r)^n - (1 + r)^k}{(1 + r)^n - 1}
\]

where:
- \( k = 5 \times 12 = 60 \) (total payments made in 5 years),
- All other values are the same as above.

#### Plugging in the values:

\[
B = 600,000 \cdot \frac{(1 + 0.0025)^{84} - (1 + 0.0025)^{60}}{(1 + 0.0025)^{84} - 1}
\]

Calculating this will yield the remaining balance after 5 years.

### Tip
To verify the monthly payment or remaining balance on a loan, use financial calculators or software like Excel. It has built-in functions like `PMT` for monthly payment and `FV` for future values, which simplify these calculations.
