Answer:
a) $3322
b) $422
c) 33 months
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given : Cash price = $2900 , Downpayment = $89.50 , No. of months = 36
a)
[tex]\text{Total installment price}=downpayment+(\text{monthly installment}\times\text{no. of months})\\\\\text{Total installment price}=100+(89.50\times 36)\approx\$3322[/tex]
b)
[tex]\text{Carrying charges}=\text{total installment price}-\text{cash price}\\\text{Total carrying charges}=3322-2900=\$422[/tex]
c)
[tex]\text{No. of months needed to save the money to buy the item at cash price}=\frac{\text{Cash Price}}{\text{No. of months}} \\\\=\frac{2900}{89.50}\approx32.40\approx33\thinspace months[/tex]
