Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Sofia reads a loan offer: “Intro rate 2.9% for the first 6 months, then 7.9% afterward. Monthly payments are low, but a final balloon payment of $7,000.00 is due at the end.”

Which feature most increases the risk that Sofia will owe a large amount all at once?

AThe intro rate of 2.9% for 6 months.

BThe balloon payment of $7,000.00 due at the end.

CThe fact that monthly payments are low.

BIncrease the credit limit on existing cards.

COnly delete old emails to reduce spam.
