Respuesta :

Based on the interest rates available to Michael, the option that would allow him to pay the least interest is B. 18-month loan with a 3.50% annual simple interest rate

How much interest will Michael pay?

The interest on the first option is:
= (7.25% x 12,000) x 12/12months in year

= $870

Interest on second loan:

= (3.5% x 12,000) x 18 / 12 months in year

= $630

Interest on third loan:

= (3.75% x 12,000) x 24/12 months in year

= $900

Interest on fourth loan:

= (2.75% x 12,000) x 36/12  months in year

= $990

In conclusion, the 18-month loan with a 3.50% annual simple interest rate gives the lowest rate.
