Answer:

57 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine How many months will it take Todd to cover the cost of the discount points if he takes the lower monthly

payments

Number of months to cover cost=(.04 x $210,000)/($1470-$1323)

Number of months to cover cost = $8400/147

Number of months to cover cost =57 months

Therefore the number of many months it will take Todd to cover the cost of the discount points if he takes the lower monthly

payments is 57 months
