to find out

What additional monthly income will Sarah need in order to pay off her credit card in 9 month

solution

first we get here Annual interest rate that is

Annual interest rate = $9,450 × 17%

Annual interest rate = $1,606.5

and  Interest rate for 3 years and 0.75 year is

Interest rate for 3 years = $1,606.5 × 3 years

Interest rate for 3 years =  $4,819.5

Interest rate for 0.75 years = $1,606.5 × 0.75 years

Interest rate for 0.75 years = $1,204.875

and

Total credit for 3 year and 0.75 year is

Total credit for 3 year = $9,450 + $4,819.50

Total credit for 3 year= $14,269.50

Total credit for 0.75 year = $9,450 + $1,204.875

Total credit for 0.75 year = $10,654.875

and

Monthly payment for 3 year =

Monthly payment for 3 year = $396.375

Monthly payment for 9 months =

Monthly payment for 9 months = $1,183.875

so  that Additional Monthly income that Sarah needs is  

Additional Monthly income Sarah needs = $ 1,183.875 - $396.375

Additional Monthly income Sarah needs = $787.50

so correct option is c. $788.85

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
