Question 17(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
Option A. While Chandler will have to wait to buy a computer, he will not pay interest charges, unlike Joey.
Explanation:
A credit card is issued by a financial company that allows cardholders to borrow funds from the institution while the cardholder agrees to pay back with an interest rate. A store credit card, like the one Joey has, functions in a similar way to traditional credit card but within a specific store or group of stores. The interest rate that cardholders pay with a store credit card is higher than the one of traditional credit cards. Therefore, while Chandler will have to wait in order to buy a computer, he will not have to pay interest charges like Joey who has a store credit card, as he will likely make the purchase with cash.
