LEARNING UNIT OBJECTIVES

LU 14-2: Revolving Charge Credit Cards

1. Calculate the finance charges on revolving charge credit card accounts.

14-3

INSTALLMENT LOAN

• This chapter discusses the cost of buying products via installments (closed-end credit) and revolving credit card (open-end credit).

• An installment loan is a loan that is repaid over time with a set number of scheduled payments of principal and interest. The payment process is called amortization.

• The term of loan may be as little as a few months and as long as 30 years. A mortgage, for example, is a type of installment loan.

• Installment buying is a form of closed-end credit and may add a substantial amount to the cost of big-ticket purchases. Installment loans are generally considered to be safe and affordable alternatives to open ended credit such as credit cards.

• Closed-end credit is a loan or extension of credit in which the proceeds are dispersed in full when the loan closes and must be repaid, including any interest and finance charges, by a specified date

• Open ended credit is a pre-approved loan between a financial institution and borrower that may be used repeatedly up to a certain limit and can subsequently be paid back prior to payments coming due. The pre-approved amount will be set out in the agreement between the lender and the borrower. Open-end credit is also referred to as a "line of credit" or "revolving line of credit".

14-4

Installment loans must clearly set out the following information in a print that all can read without effort:

1- A clear description of the goods2-The cash price for the goods3-The total sum that must be paid ( deferred payment price ), including the amount financed and finance charge 3-The Down Payment4-The monthly installments (most states require that the applicable interest rate is disclosed)

14-5

Finance charge (FC) –

the interest charge.

FC = Total of all -- Amount

monthly payments financed

Installment loan –

A loan paid off in a series of equal periodic payments.

Payments include interest and principal.

Amount financed (AF) –

the amount actually borrowed.

AF = Cash price -- Down payment

Deferred payment price (DPP) –

the total of all monthly payments plus the down payment.

DPP = Total of all + Down

monthly payments payment

COST OF INSTALLMENT BUYING

14-6

COST OF INSTALLMENT BUYING

Example # 1 : Mary Wilson would like to buy a boat that cost $9,345. If she puts down $300 she can finance the balance for 60 months at 10.5% (monthly payment = $194.38). Calculate the amount financed, finance charge, and deferred payment price.

Amount financed = Cash price -- Down payment

Finance charge = Total of all -- Amount monthly payments financed

Deferred payment Price = Total of all + Down monthly payments payments

$9,045 = $9,345 -- $300

$2,617.80 = $11,662.80 -- $9,045 ($194.38 x 60)

$11,962.80 = $11,662.80 + $300

14-7

ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (APR)

• In 1969, the Federal Reserve Board established the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z).

• The law doesn't regulate interest charges; its purpose is to make the consumer aware of the true cost of credit.

• The Truth in Lending Act requires that creditors provide certain basic information about the actual cost of buying on credit. Before buyers sign a credit agreement, creditors must inform them in writing of the amount of the finance charge and the annual percentage rate (APR).

• The APR represents the true or effective annual interest creditors charge. This is helpful to buyers who repay loans over different periods of time

14-8

CALCULATING APR BY TABLE

Step 1. Divide the finance charge by amount financed and multiply by $100 to get the table lookup factor.

Step 2. Go to APR Table 14.1. At the left side of the table are listed the number of payments that will be made.

Step 3. When you find the number of payments you are looking for, move to the right and look for the two numbers closest to the table lookup number. This will indicate the APR.

The APR can be calculated by formula or by tables.The following steps are for using a table to calculate APR:

14-9

ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (APR)

Calculating APR Rate by Table 14.1

let's determine the APR for the Example #1given earlier:

As calculated, total finance charge is $2,617.80

Finance charge x $100 = Table 14.1Amount financed lookup number

$2,617.80 x 100 = $28.94 $9,045

Between 10.25% -- 10.50%

CALCULATING THE MONTHLY PAYMENT

Monthly payment can be calculated by formula and table:

Formula:Monthly Payment =

In example # 1 :Monthly Payment = = 194.38

Table:Step 1. Divide the loan amount by $1,000.

= 9.045

Step 2. Look up the rate (10.5%) and the number of months (60). At the intersection is the table factor showing the monthly payment per $1,000 ($21.49).

Step 3. Multiply the quotient in Step 1 by the factor in Step 2.

9.045 x $21.49 = $194.38

REVOLVING CREDIT

• Revolving credit is a type of credit  that does not have a fixed number of payments.

• Credit cards are an example of revolving credit used by consumers.

• The borrower may use or withdraw funds up to a pre-approved credit limit.

• The amount of available credit decreases and increases as funds are borrowed and then repaid.

• The credit may be used repeatedly.

• The borrower makes payments based only on the amount they've actually used or withdrawn, plus interest.

• The borrower may repay over time (subject to any minimum payment requirement), or in full at any time.
