1. The cost for the 6% loan total is 375.76*48=18036.48, and for the 8% loan is 390.61*48= 18749.28. So, the benefit would be (subtract these) 712.80 to get the 6% loan over the 8% loan.
2. I am going to assume that there is an extra 7 in the 2777.90. One year, she will pay 277.90*12=3334.80. Over 2 years she will pay 152.69*24=3664.56. The benefit would be (subtract) $329.76.
