Answer:

Option B: $932.71

Step-by-step explanation:

He owes $9,889 on a credit card with a 23.5% interest rate.

Thus;

Current balance; P = $9,889

Interest rate; r = 23.5% = 0.235

Number of compounding; n = 12

We will use the formula;

A = P(r/n)/(1 -(1 +r/n)^(-nt))

t is number of years = 1

Thus;

A = (9889 × 0.235/12)/(1 - (1 + (0.235/12))^(-12 × 1)

A = (9889 × 0.019583)/(1 - (1 + (0.235/12))^(-12))

A = $932.71
