Question 20 • 26-27 Ignite Technical Math-Financial Math - MA2007
The monthly interest rate is 14.15% ÷ 12. Financing $235 over 24 monthly payments gives total payments of about $271.19, so the interest is about $36.19. Over five years, electricity and water cost ($1.56 + $0.78) × 52 × 5 = $608.40, making the lifetime cost about $235 + $36.19 + $608.40 = $879.59. Interest is about $36.19 ÷ $879.59 × 100 = 4.11%, which rounds to the closest choice, 4.12%.
