  11. Single-Payment Loans

  12. Finance Charges and the APR Discount Method -Interest (calculated on principal) is subtracted from loan amount and remainder goes to borrower Finance charges paid in advance APR will be higher than stated interest rate Simple Interest Method – Calculated on outstanding balance

  13. FS = P x r x t Where FS = finance charge using simple interest method P = principal loan amount r = stated annual interest rate t = term of loan Simple Interest Method Example-Calculate finance charges and APR on a $1000 loan for 2 years at 8% interest rate (Assume interest is the only finance charge)

  14. Using the Simple Interest Method Interest = Principal x Rate x Time = $1000 x .08 x 2 Finance Charge = $160 • Receive full loan amount ($1000) but pay back $1600(loan amount + finance charge) • Most consumer friendly method

  15. Simple Interest Method APR = ($160 2) $1000 Annual Percentage Rate = Average annual finance charge Average loan balance outstanding APR is same as stated rate = 8%

  16. Discount Method Interest = Principal x Rate x Time = $1000 x .08 x 2 Finance Charges = $160 Calculate same as simple interest method but subtract finance charges from loan amount ($1000 – $160) Borrower receives $840 now, pays back $1000

  17. Discount Method APR = ($160  2) = $80 ($1000 – $160) = $840 = 9.52% Annual Percentage Rate = Average annual finance charge Average loan balance outstanding

  18. Installment Loans

  19. Calculating Finance Charges on Installment Loans Simple Interest Method Calculated on outstanding(declining) balance each period Add-On Method Finance charges calculated on original loan balance added to principal

  20. Example Calculate the finance charges and APR on a $1000 loan to be repaid in 12 monthly installments at an annual interest rate of 8% (Assume interest is the only finance charge) Calculating Finance Charges on Installment Loans

  21. Calculator (Set on 12 P/YR and END mode) 1000 +/- PV 8 I/YR 12 N PM = $86.99 Calculating Finance Charges on Installment Loans Use Exhibit 7.4 (Table calculated using $1000 loan) Find payment for 12 months at 8% interest: $86.99

  22. Simple Interest Method

  23. Simple Interest Method $86.99 x 12 = $1,043.88 Loan amount = – 1,000.00 Interest paid = $ 43.88 Total amount paid over 12 months

  24. Add-On Method Calculate finance charges on the original loan amount $1000 x .08 x 1 = $80 Add these charges to principal $80 + $1000 = $1,080 Divide this amount by the number of periods to arrive at payment $1,080  12 = $90.00

  25. Add-On Method Use financial calculator to figure APR for the Add-On Method using payment just determined and solve for interest Set on 12 P/YR and END mode: 1000 +/- PV 90.00 PMT 12 N I/YR 14.45%
