Specifications
 The interest rate should only have one decimal place for both the calculation and the formatted
results.
 The formula for calculating monthly payment is:
month_payment = loan_amount * monthly_interest_rate / (1 – 1 / (1 + monthly_interest_rate) ** months)
 Use the locale module to ensure the results are formatted for the proper location.
 Use the decimal module and its quantize() method for rounding.
 Assume that the user will enter valid data.
 Save the file with the filename month_payment_XXX.py where XXX is either your initials or your
last name.
Hint
 You may find the Future Value program on pp. 264-265 of the textbook to be helpful.
