Here, r = 10%/12 = 0.00833333 and α = 30; hence by (4.2), the effective monthly interest rate is

i  =  \left(1  +  \frac{r}{\alpha}\right)^{\alpha}  –  1    (4.2) \\\\\ i  =  \left(1  +  \frac{0.00833333}{30}\right)^{30}  –  1  =  0.0083670

Now use (2.7), as before.

P/A  =  (A/P)^{-1}  =  \frac{ (1  +  i)^n  –  1 }{i(1  +  i)"}  –  \frac{1  –  (1  +  i)^{-n}}{1}    (2.7) \\\\ P  =  \$500\frac{(1  +  0.0083670)^{(12)(10)}  –  1}{(0.0083670)(1  +  0.0083670)^{(12)(10)}}  =  \$500\frac{1.717909}{(0.0083670)(2.717909)}  =  \$37  771.61
