question 111

Multiple Choice

Time-share sales provide an opportunity for vacationers to own a resort condo for 1 week (or more) each year forever.

Suppose the cost to buy a 1-week time share in a 3-bedroom condo is $24,300. Also suppose a 10% down payment is required, with the balance financed for 15 years at an annual rate of 16.4%, compounded monthly. Determine the total amount paid for the condo.
