On April 1, 2018, John Vaughn purchased appliances from the Acme Appliance Company for $1,200. In order to increase sales, Acme allows customers to pay in installments and will defer any payments for six months. John will make 18 equal monthly payments, beginning October 1, 2018. The annual interest rate implicit in this agreement is 24%.Calculate the monthly payment necessary for John to pay for his purchases.

The monthly payment necessary for John to pay for his purchases is $88.4 per month

Explanation:

Fixed Installment payment for a fixed period period of time with a specified interest rate is the type of annuity.

According to given data

Present value of appliance= PV = $1,200

Numbers of Payments = n = 18 months

Interest rate = r = 24% annually = 2% monthly

Value on October 1, 2018 = 1200 x ( 1 + 2%)^6-1 = 1,325

Monthly payment can be calculated by using following fomula

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

$1,325 = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 2% )^-18 ) / 2% ]

$1,325 = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.02 )^-18 ) / 0.02 ]

$1,325 = P x [ ( 1- ( 1.02 )^-18 ) / 0.02 ]

$1,325 = P x [ ( 1- ( 1.02 )^-18 ) / 0.02 ]

$1,325 = P x 14.992

P = $1,325 / 14.992

P = $88.4

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
