Problem
A bank recently announced an "instant cash" plan for holders of its bank credit cards. A cardholder may receive cash from the bank up to a preset limit (about $500). There is a special charge of 4% made at the time the "instant cash" is sent to the cardholders. The debt may be repaid in monthly installments. Each month the bank charges 11/2% on the unpaid balance. The monthly payment, including interest, may be as little as $10. Thus, for $150 of "instant cash," an initial charge of $6 is made and addedto the balance due. Assume the cardholder makes a monthly payment of $10 (this includes both principal and interest). How many months are required to repay the debt? If your answer includes a fraction of a month, round up to the next month.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
