44. Roberta owes $7,312 on a credit card with a 26.2% interest rate compounded monthly. What monthly payment should she make to pay off this debt in five years, assuming she does not charge any more purchases with the card?
$219.79
$121.87
$1,923.06
$699.58

Capital:
12x5=60 months
7312/60months=121.87

Interest:
monthly interest rate= 0.262/12=0.02183333
Month 1 interest=0.02183333 x 7,312=146.24

Capital and interest on first month:
121.87+146.24=268.11

Since at the beggining you pay the most interest, you will need to pay less than 268 in later months to pay it off in under 60 months.
Then only value betwee 121.87 and 268.11 is choice A, $219.79
