Jerry has a credit card debt of $15,600 that he would like to reduce by applying $8,500 of his inheritance money to the balance.
In addition, he would like to modify his debt payment plan to pay off the remaining balance in 24 months rather than 60 months. His credit card has an APR of 18%. How much will these changes save Jerry in finance charges (interest)?
First we need to solve the finance charge without the changes. B = A (1 + ti) where t is the number of years, 60 months or 5years i is the interest rate per year, 18% or 0.18 A is the principal amount, %15,600 B is the amount after t years so, B =$15,600 ( 1 + 0.18 x 5 ) B = $15,600 ( 1 + 0.9 ) B= $15,600 (1.9) B= $29,640. The finance charge without the changes is $29,640(amount after 5 years) - $15,600(principal amount) = $14,040.
Applying the changes, the principal amount would be $15,600 - $8,500 = $7,100, the number of years will be 2 years (24 months)in equation B = $7,100 (1 + 0.18 x 2) B = $7,100 (1 + 0.36) B = $7,100 (1.36) B = $9,656, the finance charge with the changes is $9,656 - $7,100 = $2,556.
The changes Jerry made can save $14,040 - $2,556 = $11,484.
A role refers to the <em>position an individual carries within society</em>, which comes with certain expectations. Since the individual carries a certain status with this role, there is a definition of what are <em>appropriate and inappropriate behaviors</em> regarding his/her position.
For example, a school principal has a high status and position within the school community. He/she is required to set a good example for the community so there are expectations regarding an appropriate behavior such as providing support to the staff, for example. An inappropriate behavior would be engaging in illicit acts, for example.
