Textbook Question

Chapter 5.4, Problem 26E

For Exercises 25-28, note the following information. A line of credit is an agreement between a bank and a borrower by which the borrower can borrow any amount of money (up to a mutually agreed-upon maximum) at any time, simply by writing a check. Typically, monthly simple interest payments are required, and the borrower is free to make principal payments as frequently or infrequently as he or she wants. Usually, a line of credit is secured by the title to the borrower’s house, and the interest paid to the bank by the borrower is deductible from the borrower's income taxes.

James and Danna Wright did not have sufficient cash to pay their income taxes. However, they had previously set up a line of credit with their bank. On April 15, they wrote a check to the Internal Revenue Service on their line of credit for $ 10 , 288 . The line's interest rate is 4.125 % .

a. Find the size of the required monthly interest payment.

b. The Wrights decided that it would be in their best interests to get this loan paid off in six months. Find the size of the monthly principal-plus-interest payment that would accomplish this.

HINT: In effect, the Wrights are converting the loan to an amortized loan.

c. Prepare an amortization schedule for all six months of the loan.

d. Find the amount of line of credit interest that the Wrights could deduct from their taxes next year.

Students have asked these similar questions

A ladder 27 feet long leans against a wall and the foot of the ladder is sliding away at a constant rate of 3 feet/sec. Meanwhile, a firefighter is climbing up the ladder at a rate of 2 feet/sec. When the firefighter has climbed up 6 feet of the ladder, the ladder makes an angle of л/3 with the ground. Answer the two related rates questions below. (Hint: Use two carefully labeled similar right triangles.) (a) If h is the height of the firefighter above the ground, at the instant the angle of the ladder with the ground is л/3, find dh/dt= feet/sec. (b) If w is the horizontal distance from the firefighter to the wall, at the instant the angle of the ladder with the ground is л/3, find dw/dt= feet/sec.

Two cars start moving from the same point. One travels south at 60 mi/h and the other travels west at 25 mi/h. At what rate (in mi/h) is the distance between the cars increasing four hours later? Step 1 Using the diagram of a right triangle given below, the relation between x, y, and z is z² = x²+ +12 x Step 2 We must find dz/dt. Differentiating both sides and simplifying gives us the following. 2z dz dt dx 2x. +2y dt dx dy dz x +y dt dt dt 2z dy dt × dx (x+y dt dy dt

An elastic rope is attached to the ground at the positions shown in the picture. The rope is being pulled up along the dotted line. Assume the units are meters. 9 ground level Assume that x is increasing at a rate of 3 meters/sec. (a) Write as a function of x: 0= (b) When x=10, the angle is changing at a rate of rad/sec. (c) Let L be the the left hand piece of rope and R the right hand piece of rope. When x=10, is the rate of change of L larger than the rate of change of R? ○ Yes ○ No
