To kind of add on to why answer choice B is correct, I want to mention that because most customers aren’t expecting to pay the interest rate, credit card companies advertising how low their interest rates won’t impact customers’ willingness to get that credit card.
Say you pay off your credit card debt on time every month, then it doesn’t matter to you if the credit card interest rate is 5% or 50%. You aren’t going to pay either way.
I didn’t see the above point and chose E. I chose E because if the customers were intending to use the credit card for buying items to avoid carrying cash and writing checks, then it must interest them if the credit card is accepted in more places. However, that was me making a major inference. What if these 59% customers exclusively buy things from Amazon. They buy EVERYTHING, including groceries. Then it doesn’t really matter to them if the credit card is accepted at Target, Vons, Ralphs, etc. So the expanded number of places where the credit card gets accepted only logically completes if you ASSUME that the 59% of customers will use the credit card at stores that don’t already accept the credit card.
