Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Isabella compares two 12-month loans for $2,000.00. Disclosures: - Loan A: APR 11.9%, origination fee $0.00 - Loan B: APR 14.9%, origination fee $50.00 Use the estimate: total cost ≈ principal + (principal × APR × years) + fee.
Using the estimate provided, which loan has the lower estimated total cost?
AThey are about the same
BLoan A
CLoan B
DAlways choose the lowest APR
Solution & Explanation:Estimate totals: A ≈ $2,238.00 and B ≈ $2,348.00 (including fees). Lower total cost—not just APR—wins in this estimate.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Chloe sees an ad for a museum membership: "Only $76.67!" At checkout, the disclosure adds a "processing fee" of 10%. Processing fee: $7.67 Total: $84.34
What is the effective price the consumer will actually pay, based on the disclosed fee?
A$7.67
B$76.67
C$84.34
D$69.00
Solution & Explanation:Add the fee to the advertised base price: $76.67 + $7.67 = $84.34. The effective price is the total due.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Sofia buys winter jacket for $240.00 using a pay-in-4 plan. Disclosure: - 4 equal payments every 2 weeks - If a payment is more than 7 days late, the plan converts to interest-bearing at APR 34.99% on the remaining balance - Late fee: $12.00 for each missed payment
Which outcome is most directly triggered by being more than 7 days late (according to the disclosure)?
AThe plan automatically cancels the purchase with no money owed.
BInterest starts being charged on the remaining balance at the stated APR.
CThe original purchase price is reduced by the APR percentage.
DThe store must provide a free replacement item.
Solution & Explanation:The disclosure explicitly says lateness converts the plan to interest-bearing on the remaining balance. That is the key consequence beyond the late fee.
