Question 3 • Advanced Financial Algebra
The $500 discount reduces the $4,000 furniture cost to $3,500. After the $1,000 cash payment, the remaining $2,500 is financed, creating a liability because it must be repaid. The monthly utility and maintenance costs are expenses, not the furniture loan liability. The correct choice is the $2,500 financed loan.
