According to this question , James wants to buy a gaming computer priced at $3774 

Payment period interest rate of 12 month is 14.8%

Simple interest = principle amount * Rate  * Time /100

                            = 3774  *14.8 * 12 /100

                            = 6702.62 

total amount that James pay for the computer = $6702.62

shop earn interest = total amount of computer with interest - Actual price of computer

                                 = 6702.62-3774

                                 =$2928.62

James pay per month = total amount /  time period 

                                        = 6702.62/12

                                        =$558.55/month
