Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.34 Credit, Interest, and Informed Consumer Choices skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which card is cheaper for this 3-month situation, and why?

ACard A, because the $16 cash-back outweighs the extra $10 interest and Card B's $40 fee.

BThey are the same because 3 months is short.

CCard B, because annual fees do not count.

DCard B, because it has the lower APR.

Solution & Explanation:Card A interest about 800*0.20*(3/12) = $40, rewards about 2%*800 = $16, net about $24. Card B interest about 800*0.15*(3/12) = $30 plus $40 fee = $70. $24 is lower.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Why does paying extra toward principal usually reduce the total interest paid?

ABecause interest is a fixed dollar amount no matter the balance.

BBecause interest is calculated on the remaining principal; lowering it sooner reduces future interest.

CBecause paying extra increases the APR.

DBecause lenders are required to ignore interest if you pay extra.

Solution & Explanation:When principal drops faster, the balance used to compute interest is smaller in future months, so total interest decreases.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

What is the total paid under this loan, and what should you notice?

ATotal paid is $1,300; balloons double the price.

BTotal paid is $900; balloons do not change payments.

CTotal paid is $550; balloons lower the total.

DTotal paid is $950; the balloon payment makes the last month much larger.

Solution & Explanation:Total = 50*11 + 400 = 550 + 400 = 950. A balloon payment means one very large final payment, which can be risky.
