Question

Pretend you are a highschool student who makes minimum wage. You want to buy a new car, but you are $10,000 short. You are looking at the two loans identified below. Explain which loan is more appealing and why you would choose that over the other. Use details to support your answer.

Thanks for the help!!!​

Answer 1

Firstly, Loan A has a lower interest rate (0.25% lower) and therefore the interest payed is lower ($209.49 cheaper) and of course the total paid is lower for Loan A.

The benefit of Loan B is the term of payment is longer and the monthly repayments are lower. This could be good for someone working minimum wage due to having a low income.

In conclusion, I think Loan A would be better due to the interest being lower which is always a plus for loans.
