A 22-year-old college graduate just got a job in Nashville. She is considering buying a house with a $200,000 mortgage. The APR is 4% compounded monthly for her monthly mortgage payments on a 30-year fixed rate loan. If she can get her FICO score up to 750, the APR drops to 3.6%. How much in interest cost will she save over the life of the loan assuming she can increase her FICO score to 750?
You borrow $20,000 to purchase a car and will repay the loan in uniform monthly payments for the
next 48 months. The first payment is due one month after the purchase of the car. If the interest rate
is 1% per month, determine the amount of your monthly car payment. Assuming you make each
payment as scheduled, how much total interest will you pay over the four-year period?
A problem on the midterm exam asked you to calculate the monthly payment on a $15,000
car loan at an interest rate of 9% compounded monthly to be repaid over 60 months, where
9% is the nominal annual interest rate. Some students incorrectly used 9% as the monthly
interest rate. A monthly interest rate of 9% is equivalent to what effective annual interest
rate?
(a) Effective annual interest rate = 9%
(b) Effective annual interest rate = 9% per month x 12 months per year = 108%
(c) Effective annual interest rate = 9% per month ÷ 12 months per year
0.75%
(d) Effective annual interest rate = (1+ effective monthly rate)12 – 1 = (1.09)12 –
1 = 181%
