To calculate: The faster payment of the loan by Person X if he makes a monthly payment of $225 with his new card and what happens if Person X has 2% of fee charged on any of his transferred balance.
Introduction:
The time taken for the repayment of the loan is termed as the number of periods. It is denoted by “t”.

Answer to Problem 67QP
Person X makes the payment faster by 57.68 months and if Person X is charged with a fee of 2% then he takes to pay off the card by 31.11 months.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The Christmas ski vacation of Person X was good but it ran over the budget. However, everything is not lost. Person X received a mail that states to transfer $12,000 from the current credit card that charges 19.8% of an annual rate and the new credit card of 10.4% charge. The monthly payment made by Person X with his new card is $225. It is assumed that there is a 2% fee charged for the balance transferred.
Note: The number of periods that is essential to pay back the loan with no fees is calculated first. The number of payments is solved using the formula of the
Formula to calculate the present value annuity:
Note: C denotes the payments, r denotes the rate of exchange, and t denotes the period.
Compute the present value annuity for without fee:
Solving t with this equation:
Hence, the number of months without an annual fee at the rate of 19.80% is 129.56 months.
Note: Now the value of t is computed using the formula of the present value of an annuity without fee and at an annual rate of 10.4%.
Formula to calculate the present value annuity:
Note: C denotes the payments, r denotes the rate of exchange, and t denotes the period.
Compute the present value annuity for without fee:
Solving t with this equation:
Hence, the number of months without an annual fee at the rate of 10.4% is 71.88 months.
Calculation of the months to pay off the new card without fee:
Note: The quicker months to pay off the card is calculated by subtracting the calculated number of months without an annual fee at 10.04% from the calculated number of months without an annual fee at 19.80%.
Hence, the faster payments made by Person X without a fee on the new card is 57.68 months
Note: It is not necessary to compute the time that is needed to pay back the current credit of Person X with a fee as it incurs no fee. It will take 129.56 months to pay off the current card of Person X.
Calculations of the time taken to pay back the new card with a transfer fee:
The calculations of the time taken to pay back the new card with a transfer fee are made with the help of equations of the present value of the annuity. The annual rate is 9.20%.
Formula to calculate the present value annuity:
Note: C denotes the payments, r denotes the rate of exchange, and t denotes the period.
Compute the present value annuity for without fee:
Note: The 2% interest rate is added to the present value of an annuity amount.
Solving t with this equation:
Hence, the number of months with an annual fee at the rate of 10.4% is 98.45 months.
Calculation of the months to pay off the new card without a fee:
Hence, the faster payments made by Person X with a fee on the new card is 31.11 months.
