From the information available, what is the difference between the payment app with the lowest charge, compared with a credit card charge?
A) $575
B) $1200
C) $1050
D) $480
E) $1237
Answer and Explanation:
Credit card processing firms charge an average of 3.5% and a flat fee of about 20 cents so we would make our comparison on this basis:
Since Faiz decides to use a company that has a monthly sales volume of $50,000 delivered over 100 equal transactions
The customer would pay $50000/100= $500 per instalment
Given the information I'm the table from question Instant wallet charges 3.5% +$0.20 for transactions lower than $1500
= 0.035*$500+$0.20=17.5+0.20=$17.7
An average credit card processing firms would charge :
0.035*500+$0.35=17.5+0.35= $17.85
Therefore instant wallet is cheaper and would save a customer =$17.85-17.7= $0.15
