- Elizabeth is a young woman living in Barbados. She approaches a bank for a loan to purchase a used car that she found online from Japan Motors. The car costs US$5000 and US$2500 for shipping. Once the car arrives the duty required is 100% of the total including shipping. Elizabeth will require a total loan of US$15,000 to pay for the car, shipping and duties. The bank approves the loan and releases the funds to Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a budding entrepreneur and devises a plan to earn some extra money. Rather than wire the US$7500 to Japan Motors and retain the remaining US$7500 to pay the duty, Elizabeth decides to wire the entire amount of US$15,000 to Japan Motors to pay for two cars. Elizabeth plans on selling the second car at a markup and using the profits towards her own car purchase. Eventually, the shipment arrives at the port with both of the cars Elizabeth purchased.

He owes $5,400 to one bank, $1,800 to a clothing store, $2,700 to his credit union, and several hundred dollars to other stores and individuals. Justin is paying more than $460 per month on the three major obligations to pay them off when due in two years. He realized that his take-home pay of slightly more than $3,100 per month did not leave him with much excess cash. Justin discussed a different way of handling his major payments with his bank’s loan of-ficer. The officer suggested that Justin pool all of his debts and take out an $11,000 debt-consolidation loan for seven years at 14 percent interest. As a result, he would pay only $250 per month for all his debts. Justin seemed ecstatic over the idea. (a) Is Justin’s enthusiasm over the idea of a debt-consolidation loan justified? Why or why not? (b) Why can the bank offer such a “good deal” to Justin?…arrow_forward
