Loan= $10.000

Bank options:

24-month payback 6% interest, with a monthly payment of $443.21/month

Then, Mark in option 1 will pay a total of:


443.21\text{ x 24 months=}10,637.04\text{ in option 1. }

36-month payback 6% interest, with a monthly payment of $304.22/month.

Mark in option 2 will pay a total of:


304.22\text{ x 36months=}10,951.92\text{ in option 2. }

Then, Mark will pay a lower total amount of money if he selects option 1 (10.637.04 is less than 10,951.92), saving a total of:


10,951.92\text{ - 10.637.04= 314.88 if he chooses option 1. }

Therefore, the statement that is NOT true is:

H. Mark will save $314.88 if he selects option 2.
