Given:
Amount in the bank account = $1850
Monthly payment of can loan = $400.73
To find:
When would automatic payments make the value of the account zero?
Solution:
Craig stops making deposits to that account. So, amount $1850 in the bank account is used to make monthly payment of can loan.
On dividing the amount by monthly payment, we get
It means, the amount is sufficient for 4 payment but for the 5th payment the amount is not sufficient.
Therefore, the 5th automatic payments make the value of the account zero.
