Total interest $__________
Expert Answer
Cost of Equipment = $92,800
Annual Payment = $20,074.04
Number of annual payment = 6
Total Amount Paid = 6 * $20,074.04
Total Amount Paid = $120,444.24
Total Interest Paid = Total Amount Paid – Cost of Equipment
Total Interest Paid = $120,444.24 – $92,800
Total Interest Paid = $27,644.24
So, Buffalo will pay total interest of $27,644 on this payment plan.
