You just rented your first apartment, and while you had a lot of stuff given to you, there are a few things you need to
buy: a TV, a desk, and a TV stand. After paying for the deposit and the movers, you don't have much money left, so you
want to make your purchases with a credit card. You decide to use a credit card with a $2,000 credit limit, a 2%
minimum payment, and a 19.9% APR.
Start by doing some research to find how much you would need to spend on your three items, then once you complete
the payment process with the first credit card, you will then complete it a second time with a different credit card
answering the same questions. Once you are done, it is time to compare.
. If you only make the minimum payments and avoid any additional purchases, what will the remaining balance be at
the end of the year?
• How much would you have paid over the year using the first credit card? How much would you still have left to pay?
What percent of the original balance would not have been paid?
• How much would you have paid over the year using the second credit card? How much would you still have left to
pay? What percent of the original balance would not have been paid?
• Compare the advantages and disadvantages of each card. Which credit card is the better option if you only care
about how much you have already paid? Which card is the better option if you only care about the remaining
balance?
• Given what you have discovered from these two credit cards, what kind of effects do the minimum payment
percentage and APR play on the amount of time it takes to pay off a credit card?
