For simplification, assume that the consumer pays the access fees yearly (i.e., $10 per month = $120 per year).

a. What should the consumer do if the interest rate is 3 percent?

b. What if the interest rate is 17 percent?

c. At what interest rate will the consumer be indifferent between the two options?
