He owes $5,400 to one bank, $1,800 to a clothing store, $2,700 to his credit union, and several hundred dollars to other stores and individuals. Justin is paying more than $460 per month on the three major obligations to pay them off when due in two years. He realized that his take-home pay of slightly more than $3,100 per month did not leave him with much excess cash. Justin discussed a different way of handling his major payments with his bank’s loan of-ficer. The officer suggested that Justin pool all of his debts and take out an $11,000 debt-consolidation loan for seven years at 14 percent interest. As a result, he would pay only $250 per month for all his debts. Justin seemed ecstatic over the idea. (a) Is Justin’s enthusiasm over the idea of a debt-consolidation loan justified? Why or why not? (b) Why can the bank offer such a “good deal” to Justin?…arrow_forward
