Chapter 4, Problem 65QP
Calculating the Number of Periods Your Christmas ski vacation was great, but it unfortunately ran a bit over budget. All is not lost: You just received an offer in the mail to transfer your $10,000 balance from your current credit card, which charges an annual rate of 18.6 percent, to a new credit card charging a rate of 8.2 percent. How much faster could you pay the loan off by making your planned monthly payments of $225 with the new card'? What if there was a 2 percent fee charged on any balances transferred?

You ran a little short on your spring break vacation, so you put $1,000 on your other credit card. You can afford only the minimum payment of $60 per quarter.

- After carefully going over your budget, you have determined you can afford to pay $854 per monthtoward a new car. You call up your local bank and find out that the going rate is 1% per month for 48 months.How much can you borrow?arrow_forwardYou ran a little short on your spring break vacation, so you put $1,000 on your other credit card. You can afford only the minimum payment of $60 per quarter. The interest rate on the credit card is 18 per year compounded quarterly. How many years will you need to pay off the $1,000?arrow_forwardRecently, you made multiple large purchases on your credit card totaling $17,300. The interest rate on your credit card is 15.4% per year, compounded monthly, and your statement says your minimum payment is $280 per month. (a) How many minimum payments will you need to make in order to pay off your purchases, assuming you cut up your credit card and do not make any additional purchases? (Round your answer up to the nearest number of payments.) You will need minimum payments. (b) How much total interest (in dollars) will you pay by making the minimum monthly payment?

- You just received an offer in the mail to transfer your $5,000 balance from your current credit card, which charges an annual rate of 18.7 percent, to a new credit card charging a rate of 5.9 percent. You plan to make payments of $250 a month on this debt. How many fewer payments will you have to make to pay off this debt if you transfer the balance to the new card?arrow_forwardYou have some extra cash this month and you are considering putting it toward your car loan. Your interest rate is 6.6%, your loan payments are $639 per month, and you have 36 months left on your loan. If you pay an additional $1,500 with your next regular $639 payment (due in one month), how much will it reduce the amount of time left to pay off your loan? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than 6 decimal places.) a) The new time left to pay off your loan will be ______months. b) Thus, you reduce the amount of time remaining in the loan by approximately _____ months.arrow_forwardYou are considering two ways of financing a spring break vacation. You could put it on your credit card, at 12% APR, compounded monthly, or borrow the money from your parents, who want an interest payment of 10% every six months. Which is the lower rate? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.) The effective annual rate for your credit card is _____%. (Round to two decimal places.) The effective annual rate for the loan from your parents is _____%. (Round to two decimal places.) The option with the lower effective annual rate is (your credit card/the loan from your parents).

- Over the spring break, you shopped for a mortage for your first year since you heard the mortage rates are at an all-time low. You got a quote from a bank with an effectiveannual rate of 3.0% on a 30 year mortage, that will be paid back in monthly installments. The loan amount is $100,000. However, in order to receive this relatively low interest rate, the bank required that you pay 2-points during the origination of your loan (a point is 1% of your loan). With you paying this one-time fee at the start of your loan,what is the ACTUAL effective annual rate that you will be paying on your loan? Use a spreadsheet to solve the problem.arrow_forwardYour firm has an average receipt size of $60. A bank has approached you concerning a lockbox service that will decrease your total collection time by 2 days. You typically receive 8,500 checks per day. The daily interest rate is 0.02 percent. If the bank charges a fee of $190 per day, what is the NPV of the lockbox project? What would the net annual savings be if the service were adopted?arrow_forwardSuppose you get paid every two weeks. You determine that you can afford to divert $80 from each check to pay for a car. Suppose you get approved for a loan with $80 biweekly payments over 6 years at an APR of 7%. What is the most expensive car you can afford to purchase with this loan? Note: In finance, biweekly means every two weeks. Hint: If you make payments every two weeks, how many payments do you make in a yeararrow_forward
- You want to buy a house that costs $60,000. You took a $60,000 mortgage loan at an annual rate of 7%, where you will make the payment to the bank in installment at the end of every 6 months. The loan will take 3 years to be paid entirely. How large would each semi-annual installment be? Why there is a "Time Value" associated with money? ACC firm has a cash conversion cycle of 120 days, an average collection period of 25 days, and an average age of inventory of 145 days. Calculate the firm's average payment period in days.arrow_forwardYour firm sells for cash only, but it is thinking of offering credit, allowing customers 90 days to pay. Customers understand the time value of money, so they would all wait and pay on the 90th day. To carry these receivables, you would have to borrow funds from your bank at a nominal 7%, daily compounding based on a 360-day year. You want to increase your base prices by exactly enough to offset your bank interest cost. To the closest whole percentage point, by how much should you raise your product prices? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forward(Use Formula Approach or Calculator Approach) You ran a little short on your spring break vacation, so you put $1,000 on your credit card. You can afford only the minimum payment of $20 per month. The interest rate on the credit card is 1.5 percent per month. How long will you need to pay off the $1,000?arrow_forward
