The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "It is cheaper for Paul to buy the painting using his credit card. He will only pay $58 per month on his credit card provider compared to the $62.70 monthly bill if he used cash advance."
Here's how to solve.
Given that the Painting priced at $600. If paid using credit card and in installment basis.
$600 x 16% = $96 interest on credit card balance
$600 + $96 = $696 total debt
$696 ÷ 12 months = $58 monthly payments
If paid using cash from cash advance.
$600 x 5% discount = $30
$600 - $30 = $570
$570 x 32% = $182.40 interest on cash advance
$570 + $182.40 = $752.40
$752.40 ÷ 12 months = $62.70 monthly payment
