Hire purchase
Hire purchase involves an initial deposit and a balance paid in monthly instalments, usually with added interest.
\(\text{Total cost}=\text{deposit}+(\text{instalment}\times\text{number of instalments})\).
For the model used here, interest is included in the instalments, not the deposit. With positive interest, the total exceeds the cash price.
