Assuming you transfer the $16,000 balance from your existing credit card and make no subsequent payments, how much interest will you owe at the end of the first year?

Explanation / Answer

Amount owed after 1 year = 16,000 * (1+3.3%/12)^6 * (1+18.2%/12)^6 = 17,803.28

So interest owed = 17,803.28 - 16,000 = 1,803.28
