Suppose you owe $1,100 on your credit card. The annual percentage rate (APR) is 18%, compounded monthly. The credit card company says your minimum monthly payment is $20.00.
a. If you make only this minimum payment, how long will it take for you to repay the $1,100 balance (assuming no more charges are made)?
b. If you make the minimum payment plus $10.62 extra each month (for a total of $30.62), how long will it take to repay the $1,100 balance?

John and Susan just opened savings accounts at two different banks. Each deposited $1,000. John's bank pays simple interest at an annual rate of 10%, whereas Susan's bank pays compound interest at an annual rate of 9.5%. No principle or interest will be taken out of the accounts for a period of five years. At the end of five years, whose balance will be higher, and by how much (to the nearest dollar)?
A discount interest loan is a loan arrangement where the interest and any other related charges are calculated at the time the loan is closed. Suppose a one-year loan is stated as $10,000 and the interest rate is 14%. Then, the borrower pays $1,400 interest up front, thereby receiving net funds of $8,600 and repaying $10,000 in a year. What is the effective interest rate on this one-year loan?

The loan can either be paid off as a lump sum of $100,000 at the end of four years, or as equal annual payments at the end of each of the next four years. If the interest rate on the loan is 10%, what annual payments should be made so that both forms of payment are equivalent?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? The present value of a 3-year, $150 ordinary annuity will exceed the present value of a 3-year, $150 annuity due. If a loan has a nominal annual rate of 8%, then the effective rate will never be less than 8%. If a loan or investment has annual payments, then the effective, periodic, and nominal rates of interest will all be different. The proportion of the payment that goes toward interest on a fully amortized loan increases over time. An investment that has a nominal rate of 6% with semiannual payments will have an effective rate that is smaller than 6%.arrow_forward
