Question
Calvin Johnson has a
$6,000
debt balance on his Visa card that charges
11.1
percent APR compounded monthly. In 2009, Calvin's minimum monthly payment is
4
percent of his debt balance, which is
$240.
How many months (round up) will it take Calvin Johnson to pay off his credit card if he pays the current minimum payment of
$240
at the end of each month? In 2010, as the result of a federal mandate, the minimum monthly payment on credit cards rose to
5
percent. If Calvin made monthly payments of
$300
at the end of each month, how long would it take to pay off his credit card?
