Tom has offered to sell julian his motorcycle for $1,200. julian knows this is a very good deal, since the same motorcycle can be purchased at the dealership for $1,800. since julian doesn’t have $1,200 and tom does not accept credit cards, they both think a cash advance might be a good idea. julian’s credit card company can offer him a cash advance for the $1,200 he needs at an interest rate of 26%. he would then pay off the balance in 24 months. should julian use the cash advance to purchase the motorcycle? a. no. julian would be paying too much in interest to warrant using a cash advance. b. yes. even with the interest, the total cost of the motorcycle would be less than at the dealership. c. yes. the interest rate on the cash advance is low. julian will not have to pay much interest on the cash advance. d. no. the high interest rate on the cash advance would make the purchase of the motorcycle almost twice than the price at the dealership.

Option 'a' is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the price of motorcycle at the dealership is $1800, while Tom is offering the same motorcycle for $1200.

Since Julian don't have cash, so let us find what will be the amount paid by Julian for motorcycle; if Julian takes a cash advance from bank at interest rate of 26% for 24 months.

We will use simple interest formula to find the amount paid by Julian for the motorcycle.

, where,

A= Final amount after t years,

P = Principal amount,

r = Interest rate in decimal form,

t = Time in years.

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form and time into years.

Since 12 months = 1 year.

So, 24 months = 2*12 months = 2 years.

As Julian will be paying $1824 for the bike, while price offered by dealership is $1800. Therefore, Julian should not use a cash advance as he would be paying too much in interest to warrant using a cash advance.  

the answer is b.
