16 Credit in America 16.1 Credit: What and Why 16.2 Types and Sources of Credit
The Need for Credit • Credit is the use of someone else’s money, borrowed now with the agreement to pay it back later. • Early forms of credit • Credit today Chapter 16
The Use of Credit • A debtor is a person who borrows money from others. • This money, called debt, must be repaid. • A creditor is a person or business that loans money to others. • Creditors charge money for this service in the form of interest and fees. • A debtor must be qualified to receive credit. Chapter 16
Qualifying for Credit • To qualify for credit, you must have the ability to repay the loan. • Qualification is based on three things: • Income • Financial position • Collateral Chapter 16
Income • Sources of income include: • Job • Interest • Dividends • Alimony • Royalties • Income represents cash inflow. • When your earnings exceed your expenses, you have the capacity to take on debt. Chapter 16
Financial Position • Capital is the value of property you possess (such as bank accounts, investments, real estate, and other assets) after deducting your debts. • Having capital tells the creditor that you have accumulated assets, which indicates responsibility. • Your debt represents cash outflow and will be compared to your cash inflow (income). Chapter 16
Collateral • To borrow large amounts of money, creditors often want more than just your promise to repay; they want collateral. • Collateral is property pledged to assure repayment of a loan. • If you do not make your loan payments, the creditor can seize the pledged property. Chapter 16
Making Payments • Once you have completed a credit purchase, you owe money to the creditor. • The principal (amount borrowed) plus interest for the time you have the loan is called the balance due. • The finance charge is the total dollar amount of all interest and fees you pay for the use of credit. Chapter 16
