First, we need to calculate the total amount of interest Nikki will pay over the 12 months:
Total interest = $500 x 0.09 x 1 = $45
Next, we need to calculate the total amount of money Nikki will have to pay back:
Total amount = $500 + $45 = $545
Since Nikki has to pay $8.7453 per $100 each month, we can calculate her monthly installment payment as follows:
Monthly payment = $545 x 0.087453 = $47.55
Therefore, the answer is d. $43.73 is not the correct answer as it does not take into account the total amount that needs to be paid back (just the interest).
Nikki borrowed $500 at 9% interest for 12 months under a monthly
installment plan. She must pay $8.7453 per $100 each month for 12
months. How much is her monthly installment payment?
