ames Sprater of Grand Junction, Colorado, has been shopping for a loan to buy a used car. He wants to borrow $18,000 for four or

five years. James' credit union offers a declining-balance loan at 9.25 percent for 48 months, resulting in a monthly payment of $450.07. The credit union does not offer five-year auto loans for amounts less than $20,000, however. If James borrowed $18,000, this payment would strain his budget. A local bank offered current depositors a five-year loan at a 9.34 percent APR, with a monthly payment of $376.62. This credit would not be a declining-balance loan. Because James is not a depositor in the bank, he would also be charged a $25 credit check fee and a $50 application fee. James likes the lower payment but knows that the APR is the true cost of credit, so he decided to confirm the APRs for both loans before making his decision. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Answer:

James' credit union loan rate is 8.88% APR, the local bank loan rate is 9.34% APR.

Explanation:

Hi, since in both cases payments would be done in a monthly basis, we have to assume that the rate that we are looking for is APR (compounded monthly), and since there is no additional information in regards that 9.25% rate, we can assume that this is effective annually, so let´s convert this effective monthly rate into APR (compounded monthly)

First, we have to convert it into an effective monthly rate, that is:

r(month)=((1+r(annual))^{\frac{1}{12} } -1)

r(month)=((1+0.0925)^{\frac{1}{12} } -1)=0.00739963

Then we multiply by 12 and we get  0,088796 , which is 8.88% APR (compounded monthly)

This way James can compare both credits. The cheaper loan is from the credit union.

amm1812

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

When the price of a bond is at par, it means that the coupon rate and the Yield to Maturity are the same.

The Coupon rate is the interest rate that the Issuer of the bond pays the bond holders as a percentage of Par.

The Coupon payment here is $100 and the rate is;

= 100/1,000

= 10%

<em>Coupon Rate = 10% = Yield to Maturity </em>

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Total FV= $678.615.02

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the value of the annuity at the end of the last payment:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,000*[(1.06^30) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= $158,116.37

<u>Now, the total future value after 25 years:</u>

FV= PV*(1 + i)^n

FV= 158,116.37*(1.06^25)

FV= $678.615.02
