Question

Tom is in dire need of a new washing machine. He knows what model he would like to get, but doesn't have the cash to pay for it. He plans to get a line of credit (credit card) at the store when he purchases his new washer. He found four different stores that carry the same washing machine for different prices. The lines of credit they offer also come with different APRs. Tom's primary goal is to minimize his monthly payment as he pays the washing machine off over the next 18 months. From which of the four stores should Tom purchase his washing machine

Answer 1

im pretty sure its B

Answer 2

Tom should purchase his washing machine at the store that, over 18 months, will be most cost effective. This doesn't necessarily mean the cheapest washing machine will be the most cost effective, because it could have a high interest rate that, after 18 months, could end up totaling much more than the original cost.
