Work Step by Step

The cost of the movers is $4\times485,000=1,940,000$ dollars. Since 80% of the purchase price was financed the principle is $(1,940,000)(0.8)=1,552,000$ dollars. interest = principle * rate * time $i=(1,552,000)(10.5)(2.5)=(162,960)(2.5)=407,400$ dollars total due=principle+interest $t=1,552,000+407,400=1,959,400$ dollars
