You receive a credit card application from Shady Banks Savings and Loan offering an introductory rate of .6 percent per year, compounded monthly for the first six months, increasing thereafter to 17.5 percent compounded monthly. Assume you transfer the $6,500 balance from your existing credit card and make no subsequent payments. How much interest will you owe at the end of the first year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

Total interest paid = $606.63

Explanation:

First calculate the monthly payment for first six months

Monthly interest for first 6 months =.006/12=.0005

= 6500*(1.0005)^6

=6519.52

Interest rate for next six months

=17.37%/12=1.45%

(1.0145)^6=1.090054

=6519.52*(1+.0145)^6

=7106.63

Total interest paid = 7106.63-6500  

Total interest paid = 606.63

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.
