Answer:
8th Month
Step-by-step explanation:
We will calculate the payments by both the method as shown below
Company A
$10,000 + $ 5000 = $ 15000
$ 15000 + $5000 = $20,000
$20,000+ $5000 = $25,000
$25,000 + $5000 = $30,000
$30,000 + $5000 = $35,000
$35,000 + $5000 = $40,000
$40,000 + $5000 = $45,000
$45,000 + $5000 = $45,000 = $ 50,000
$ 50,000 + $ 5000 = $ 55,000
Company B
$ 500
2 x $ 500 = $1000
2 x $1000 = $2000
2 x $2000 = $4000
2 x $4000 = $8000
2 x $8000 = $ 16,000
2 x $ 16,000 = $ 32,000
2 x $ 32,000 = $ 64,000
2 x $ 64,000 = $128,000
Thus, it is the 8th month during which Company B's payment first exceed Company A's payment
