Thomas charged $2,400 on his credit card to buy furniture. the interest rate charged by the credit card company is 24.9%. after one month, the minimum payment on the debt is $50. how much will he owe after he makes the first payment

Respuesta :

If the interest is compounded continuously: 
A = Pe^(r)(t) - 50 
A =2400e^(0.249)(1/12) - 50 = $2400.32 

Answer:

The answer is $2399.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

The APR is = 24.9%  

So, per month rate is = [tex]24.9/12/100=0.02075[/tex]

After a month Thomas has to pay interest on $2400 at 2.075%  

= [tex]2400\times0.02075=49.80[/tex] dollars

Now, the total amount due at month end is :

cost of furniture + interest on credit card  

= [tex]2400+49.80=2449.80[/tex] dollars

As given, Thomas has to pay minimum $50.  

Therefore, after this 1st payment of $50, the amount he will owe is :

=[tex]2449.80-50=2399.8[/tex] dollars

The answer is $2399.80.
