Hak Young has accumulated some credit card debt while he was in college. His total debt is now $23,864.00 and his credit card charges 18% interest compounded monthly. He is getting worried about his debt and is determined to pay it off completely.
Hak Young is daunted by that monthly payment amount and is trying to figure out how he can make paying off his loan more manageable. He went to his bank and found out he could get a personal line of credit that he could then use to pay off his credit card. The line of credit has an interest rate of 10.75% compounded weekly.
Hak Young realizes that payment amount, even though reduced, is just not manageable based on how much he currently makes and all of the other expenses he also has to budget for. As a result he decides paying off his debt in 10 years is simply more realistic.
What would Hak Young's monthly loan payments be with this new timeline?
What will be the total interest paid?

In my example, I created a simple homepage of a made-up business for counseling services. I didn't watch the how-to video because once I opened up the tool I just ran with it so to speak and I was pleased with what I came up with no matter how simple it is I had fun with it. I suppose I could use this tool in my academic life like I just did for this assignment, but another way I could use it is to send invitations to my friends and family for my graduation once I achieve my bachelor's degree. In my professional life, I could use it as a legitimate advertisement for my services. Another way would be as an introduction to online services I could provide in the future.arrow_forward
