You owe $10,000 on a credit card with an interest rate of 15%, which is compounded monthly. If you make payments of $1,000 per month, how many months will it take you to pay off your debt? (Enter the answer to 2 decimal places)
Loan amount = $10,000
Monthly interest rate = 15%/12 = 1.25%
Monthly payment = $1,000
Number of months is calculated using NPER function in excel
Therefore, number of months required to pay off the debt is 10.75 months.
