If I purchased an appliance for $2500 , paid $800 as a down payment and financed the remainder over 3 years, at 11% interest (with add-on), What is the total amount paid for the appliance

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that loan is of 'add-on interest' type

Add on interest = Principal *Rate of interest annualy*duration in year

In our case principal = price of appliance - downpayment paid = 2500-800=$1700

Rate of interest per annum = 11%

duartion of loan = 3 years

on substituting the above values in formula on add on interest we get

Add on interest = 1700 * (11/100) * 3 = $561

Total Amount paid for appliance = principal +downpayment + Add on interest = 1700+800+561=$3061
