3. Credit Cards:
a. Problem: If you have a credit card balance of $5,000 at an annual interest rate of 18%, what is the interest charged for the first month?
Solution:
Interest charged for the first month = (Balance x Monthly interest rate)
Where Balance = $5,000, Annual interest rate = 18%, Monthly interest rate = 18% / 12 = 1.5%
Interest charged for the first month = (5,000 x 0.015)
Interest charged for the first month = $75
Therefore, the interest charged for the first month is $75.
b. Problem: If you have a credit card balance of $10,000 at an annual interest rate of 20%, how long will it take to pay off the balance with minimum monthly payments of $200?
Solution:
Using the formula for the time to pay off a credit card balance:
Time = -(1 / Monthly interest rate) * ln(1 - (Balance / Monthly payment))
Where Balance = $10,000, Annual interest rate = 20%, Monthly interest rate = 20% / 12 = 1.67%, Monthly payment = $200
Time = -(1 / 0.0167) * ln(1 - (10,000 / 200))
Time = 194.5 months
Therefore, it will take approximately 194.5 months (or 16.2 years) to pay off the balance with minimum monthly payments of $200.
c. Problem: If you have a credit card with an annual fee of $50 and a credit limit of $5,000, what is the effective interest rate if you carry a balance of $2,500 for a year at an interest rate of 15%?
Solution:
Effective interest rate = (Annual interest charges + Annual fee) / Average daily balance
Where Annual interest charges = Balance x Annual interest rate = 2,500 x 0.15 = $375, Annual fee = $50, Average daily balance = (2,500 + 5,000) / 2 = $3,750
Effective interest rate = (375 + 50) / 3,750
Effective interest rate = 13.33%
Therefore, the effective interest rate is 13.33%.
4. Consumer Loans:

Purchase price = Face value x (1 - Discount rate x Time)
Where Face value = $2,500, Discount rate = 1.5%, Time = 3 months = 0.25 year
Purchase price = 2,500 x (1 - 0.015 x 0.25)
Purchase price = $2,468.75
Yield to maturity = (Face value - Purchase price) / Purchase price x (365 / Time)
Where Face value = $2,500, Purchase price = $2,468.75, Time = 3 months = 0.25 year
Yield to maturity = (2,500 - 2,468.75) / 2,468.75 x (365 / 0.25)
Yield to maturity = 6.04%
Therefore, the purchase price is $2,468.75 and the yield to maturity is 6.04%.
