Question 4

Use the actuarial method to find the payoff amount for the loan paid in full before its due date.
-Regular Monthly Payment: $231.78 APR: 10%
Remaining Payments After Payoff: 6

Accepted Answer

The actuarial method for calculating the payoff amount for a loan involves finding the present value of the remaining payments at the loan's interest rate. Given a monthly payment of $231.78, an APR of 10% (which translates to a monthly interest rate of 10%/12 = 0.8333%), and 6 remaining payments, the formula for the present value of an annuity can be used: $PV = P \times \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r}$, where $P$ is the payment amount, $r$ is the monthly interest rate (as a decimal), and $n$ is the number of payments. Substituting the given values: $PV = 231.78 \times \frac{1 - (1 + 0.008333)^{-6}}{0.008333}$, calculating this gives approximately $1582.74.

Question 10

Use the Rule of 78 to find the payoff amount for the loan paid in full before the date of maturity.
-Finance charge: $5415 Total number of payments: 149
Amount per payment: $319
Remaining number of payments, when paid in full: 12

Accepted Answer

The Rule of 78 is a method for calculating the amount of interest that has been paid on a loan. It is based on the assumption that the interest is paid in equal installments over the life of the loan. The formula for the Rule of 78 is:Interest paid = (Number of payments remaining / Total number of payments) * Finance chargeIn this case, the finance charge is $5415, the total number of payments is 149, and the remaining number of payments is 12. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:Interest paid = (12 / 149) * $5415 = $4109.20Therefore, the payoff amount for the loan paid in full before the date of maturity is $4109.20.

Question 11

Use the actuarial method to find the payoff amount for the loan paid in full before its due date.
-Regular Monthly Payment: $417.31 APR: 12%
Remaining Payments After Payoff: 36

Accepted Answer

The actuarial method for calculating the payoff amount involves finding the present value of the remaining payments. The formula for the present value of an annuity is P = PMT × [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r], where PMT is the monthly payment, r is the monthly interest rate (APR/12), and n is the number of remaining payments. Here, PMT = $417.31, APR = 12% (so, r = 0.12/12 = 0.01), and n = 36. Plugging these into the formula gives P = $417.31 × [(1 - (1 + 0.01)^-36) / 0.01] ≈ $12,981.63.

Question 13

Use the actuarial method to find the amount of unearned interest for the loan paid in full before the due date.
-Amount Financed: $23,000 Regular Monthly Payment: $583.34
Total Number of Payments scheduled: 48
Loan repaid in full instead of making: 36th payment

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the unearned interest for the loan paid in full before the due date is $364.93. This is calculated by multiplying the regular monthly payment by the number of payments remaining on the loan. In this case, the regular monthly payment is $583.34 and the number of payments remaining on the loan is 36. Therefore, the unearned interest is $583.34 x 36 = $364.93.

Question 14

Use the Rule of 78 to find the payoff amount for the loan paid in full before the date of maturity.
-Finance charge: $23,156 Total number of payments: 281
Amount per payment: $256
Remaining number of payments, when paid in full: 6

Accepted Answer

The Rule of 78 is a method used to calculate the interest portion of a loan that is being paid off early. It disproportionately allocates more interest to the early payments of a loan. To find the payoff amount using the Rule of 78, you first calculate the sum of the digits for the total number of payments. For 281 payments, the sum is $1+2+3+...+281$. This sum can be calculated quickly using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: $S = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$, where $n$ is the total number of payments. So, $S = \frac{281(281 + 1)}{2} = 39561$.Next, calculate the sum of the digits for the remaining number of payments, which is $276+277+278+279+280+281$. This sum is $1671$.The portion of the finance charge to be rebated (not charged) is then calculated by dividing the sum for the remaining payments by the total sum and multiplying by the total finance charge: $\frac{1671}{39561} \times 23156 = 977.73$.The total amount to be paid off is the remaining principal plus the remaining finance charge minus the rebate. However, since we are not given the remaining principal, and the question seems to focus on calculating the finance charge portion that would be rebated or applied, we focus on the finance charge adjustment.Given the finance charge of $23,156 and the calculated rebate of $977.73, the adjusted finance charge is $23,156 - $977.73 = $22,178.27. However, without the remaining principal, we directly address the calculation error and recognize that the correct approach involves calculating the rebate or adjustment to the finance charge due to early payoff. The provided options seem to reflect a misunderstanding of the calculation required or missing information.Given the misunderstanding in the calculation process and the provided options, the correct approach involves recalculating based on the Rule of 78's application to the finance charge and early payoff, but the provided options and information lead to a discrepancy in the expected process. The correct answer should involve calculating the rebate on the finance charge due to early payoff, but without the full loan amount or the principal balance, we cannot accurately determine the payoff amount solely based on the provided information and the typical use of the Rule of 78.

Question 15

Use the Rule of 78 to find the payoff amount for the loan paid in full before the date of maturity.
-Amount Financed: $25,000 Regular Monthly Payment: $656.25
Total Number of Payments scheduled: 48
Loan repaid in full instead of making: 27th

Accepted Answer

The Rule of 78 allocates pre-calculated interest amounts to each payment in a decreasing manner. To find the payoff amount when the loan is paid off early, you sum the numbers of the payments remaining and divide by the sum of the numbers of all scheduled payments, then multiply by the total finance charge. Here, the sum for payments 1 through 48 is 1176 (the sum of the first 48 natural numbers), and the sum for payments 1 through 27 is 378. The total interest over the life of the loan is $6,460 (which is $656.25*48 - $25,000). The rebate on the interest for paying off early is (378/1176)*$6,460 = $2,089.29. The total amount paid by the 27th payment is $656.25*27 = $17,718.75. The remaining balance without the interest rebate is $25,000 - $17,718.75 = $7,281.25. Subtracting the interest rebate from this gives the payoff amount: $7,281.25 - $2,089.29 = $5,191.96. However, this calculation does not match any of the provided options, indicating a mistake in the calculation process based on the provided options. The correct approach involves calculating the sum of the digits for the remaining payments and applying it to the total finance charge, then adjusting the principal accordingly. Given the options and the typical use of the Rule of 78, the correct calculation involves a more direct application of the rule to the specifics of the loan's interest and principal repayment, which seems to have been misapplied in this explanation. The correct answer, based on the options provided and typical outcomes when using the Rule of 78, should reflect the remaining balance after accounting for how interest is front-loaded in the repayment schedule. Without the exact formula and steps leading to the options, there's a mistake in the provided calculation process. The Rule of 78's correct application would directly relate to how the total interest and principal are allocated across the loan term, specifically focusing on the sum of the digits for the payments made and remaining.

Question 17

Use the actuarial method to find the payoff amount for the loan paid in full before its due date.
-Regular Monthly Payment: $329.42 APR: 10.2%
Remaining Payments After Payoff: 20

Accepted Answer

The actuarial method for calculating the payoff amount of a loan involves determining the present value of the remaining payments, using the loan's interest rate. Given a regular monthly payment of $329.42, an APR of 10.2% (which translates to a monthly interest rate of 10.2% / 12 = 0.85%), and 20 remaining payments, the formula for the present value of an annuity can be used:$$ PV = P \times \left( \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r} \right) $$Where:- $PV$ is the present value (the payoff amount we're solving for),- $P$ is the payment amount ($329.42),- $r$ is the monthly interest rate (0.85% or 0.0085 in decimal form),- $n$ is the number of payments (20).Plugging in the numbers:$$ PV = 329.42 \times \left( \frac{1 - (1 + 0.0085)^{-20}}{0.0085} \right) $$$$ PV = 329.42 \times \left( \frac{1 - (1 + 0.0085)^{-20}}{0.0085} \right) $$$$ PV = 329.42 \times 19.305 \approx 6364.74 $$Therefore, the payoff amount for the loan, if paid in full before its due date, is approximately $6364.74.

Question 18

-Regular Monthly Payment: $646.54 APR: 14.5%
Remaining Payments After Payoff: 18

Accepted Answer

Question 19

Use the actuarial method to find the amount of unearned interest for the loan paid in full before the due date.
-Amount Financed: $2500 Regular Monthly Payment: $55.61
Total Number of Payments scheduled: 60
Loan repaid in full instead of making: 36th payment

Accepted Answer

The unearned interest using the actuarial method can be calculated by first determining the total interest paid if the loan were carried to term, then calculating the interest cost for the actual term the loan was held before being paid off, and finally subtracting the actual interest cost from the total interest cost to find the unearned interest. However, without the interest rate, a direct calculation here is not possible. The correct answer, given the options and the method described, is based on the actuarial calculations specific to the details provided, which typically involve complex financial formulas or a financial calculator to accurately determine.

Question 20

Use the actuarial method to find the payoff amount for the loan paid in full before its due date.
-Regular Monthly Payment: $314.78 APR: 12.7%
Remaining Payments After Payoff: 31

Accepted Answer

The actuarial method for calculating the payoff amount of a loan involves determining the present value of the remaining payments. Given the regular monthly payment ($314.78), the annual percentage rate (APR) of 12.7%, and the remaining payments (31), we can calculate the payoff amount as follows:1. Convert the APR to a monthly rate: $12.7\% / 12 = 1.0583\%$.2. Convert the monthly rate to a decimal: $1.0583\% = 0.010583$.3. Use the present value of an annuity formula: $PV = P \times \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r}$, where $P$ is the payment amount, $r$ is the monthly interest rate, and $n$ is the number of payments.Plugging in the values:$$PV = 314.78 \times \frac{1 - (1 + 0.010583)^{-31}}{0.010583}$$$$PV = 314.78 \times \frac{1 - (1 + 0.010583)^{-31}}{0.010583}$$$$PV = 314.78 \times 27.314$$ (approximated calculation of the fraction)$$PV ≈ 8596.84$$Therefore, the payoff amount for the loan, if paid in full before its due date, is approximately $8596.84.
