Detailed explanation-1: -A down payment is a sum of money that a buyer pays in the early stages of purchasing an expensive good or service. The down payment represents a portion of the total purchase price, and the buyer will often take out a loan to finance the remainder.
Detailed explanation-2: -A down payment is a cash payment made at the beginning of a purchase transaction.
