You purchase a computer for $875.00 plus 5% sales tax. You decide to finance it through the store's 0% program for 12 months. The terms state that you must pay $100.00/month and that if you miss a payment, you will be assessed a late fee of $39.00 plus the interest accrued to that point at a 14.25% APR.

87.28

Explanation:

i saw the guys above me answer and he got it wrong so it gave me the answer

Answer 2

At first you need to know total cost
`(875)(1.05) = 918.75`
According to the fact that you have already paid for 7 months, we have to substract
`700 = 218.75` ---> what still needs to be payid.
On the 8 moth you have missed the payment so (218.75)(8/12), and remaining moths are nearly 145.83333
To finish, multiply by the apr and you will get $20.78 interest charged. So, I am pretty sure that he answer is D.
