14-5 Finance charge (FC) - the interest charge. FC = Total of all - Amount monthly payments financed Installment loan - a loan paid of in a series of equal periodic payments. Payments include interest and principal. Amount financed (AF)- the amount actually borrowed. AF = Cash Price - Down Payment Deferred payment price (DPP) - the total of all monthly payments plus the down payment. DPP = Total of all + Down monthly payments payment Cost of Installment Buying

14-6 Cost of Installment Buying Mary Wilson would like to buy a boat that cost $9,345. If she puts down $300 she can finance the balance for 60 months at 10.5% (monthly payment = $194.38). Calculate the amount financed, finance charge, and deferred payment price. Amount financed = Cash price - Down payment $9,045 = $9,345 - $300 Finance Charge = Total of all - Amount monthly payments financed $2, = $11, $9,045 ($ x 60) Deferred payment = Total of all + Down Price monthly payment payments $11, = $11, $300

14-7 Calculating APR by Table Step 1. Divide the finance charge by amount financed and multiply by $100 to get the table lookup factor. Step 2. Go to APR Table At the left side of the table are listed the number of payments that will be made. Step 3. When you find the number of payments you are looking for, move to the right and look for the two numbers closest to the table lookup number. This will indicate the APR.

14-8 Annual Percentage Rate (APR) Calculating APR rate by table Finance charge x $100 = Table 14.1 Amount financed lookup # $2, x 100 = $28.94 $9,045 Between 10.25% % Truth in Lending Act APR must be accurate to the nearest 1/4 of 1%

14-10 Calculating the Monthly Payment by Formula Finance charge + Amount financed Number of payments of loan $2, $9, $ The pickup truck advertisement on page 340 showed a $ monthly payment. We can check this by formula and by table lookup.

14-11 Step 2. Look up the rate (10.5%) and the number of months (60). At the intersection is the table factor showing the monthly payment per $1,000 ($21.49) Step 3. Multiply the quotient in Step 1 by the factor in Step x $21.49 = $ Calculating the Monthly Payment by Table Step 1. Divide the loan amount by $1,000 $9,045 = $1,000

14-14 Calculating Rebate and Payoff for Rule of 78 Rule of 78 - A variation of the U. S. Rule. The Rule of 78 is not allowed for loans of 61 months or longer Step 1. Find the balance of the loan outstanding Step 2. Calculate the total finance charge Step 3. Find the number of payments remaining Step 4. Set up the rebate fraction from Table 14.3 Step 5. Calculate the rebate amount of the finance charge Step 6. Calculate the payoff

Fair Credit and Charge Card Disclosure Act of Revolving Charge Credit Cards Interest charges are based on the interest rate times the previous month’s balance (outstanding balance) Payments are first applied towards interest and then the outstanding balance (US Rule)

14-19 Step 2. When the daily balance is the same for more than one day, multiply it by the number of days the daily balance remained the same or the number of days of the current balances. Step 3. Add the cumulative balances. Step 4. Divide the sum of the cumulative daily balances by the number of days in the billing cycle. Calculating Average Daily Balance Step 1. Calculate the daily balance or amount owed at the end of each day during the billing cycle Daily = Previous + Cash + Purchases - Payments balance balance advances Step 5. Finance charge = Rate per month x Average daily balance
