Cost of Installment Buying Deferred payment price (DPP) - the total of all monthly payments plus the down payment. DPP = Total of all + Down monthly payments payment Amount financed (AF)- the amount actually borrowed. AF = Cash Price - Down Payment Finance charge (FC) - the interest charge.

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 $2,617.80 = $11,662.80 - $9,045 ($194.38 x 60) Deferred payment = Total of all + Down Price monthly payment payments $11,962.80 = $11,662.80 + $300

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
