OpenStudy (anonymous):

someone pls help!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

student loans are a good example of unsecured debt

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you don't put any collateral against the loan, so that's why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are unsecure debt rates higher

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

mortgages on the other hand, are secured debt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would assume so because its unsecure.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

because they take away the home if you fail to make payments

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes unsecured debt is much riskier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is a credit card unsecured

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, because you don't put any collateral up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You (or your parents) are purchasing a car for $18,965.00 plus 6.25% sales tax. The down payment is $1,500.00. What is the difference in the accrued interest at the end of the first month between the average and excellent credit ratings?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure creditors can take you to court and garnish your wages if you fail to make payments...but you don't put any collateral up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.90 5.75 are the average credit ratings.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Use the formula I = Prt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well first off you would need to find the cost of the car after sales tax is added

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

$18,965.00 plus 6.25% sales tax = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you times it, i have a helpful note for all the sales tax& percentages on my computer but im not using that one. mines in the shop. so i take the amount of the car and multiply by the 6.25 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that sounds like the wrong answer lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on lemme think..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i times it by 0.6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you multiply it by 1+0.0625 or 1.0625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1185.31 is what got. so adding that to the original price then. 20,150.50

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm getting 20,140.75

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh wait

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I mixed up the numbers I'm not getting 20,150.31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20,150,31

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20,150.31.2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the price after you add tax is 20,150.31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i got a third time.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok now you use the formula I = Prt

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

In this case P = 20150.31

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and t = 1/12

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh forgot to take away the down payment, my bad

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

20150.31 - 1500 = 18650.31 so P = 18650.31 and t =1/12

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then you would use those given interest rates to figure out how much you pay in interest for the first month

OpenStudy (anonymous):

): i dont get it still. this pellet is hard..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok what were the interest rates again
