740–799 5.597%
670–739 8.132%
580–669 9.358%
300–579 12.413%


A consumer, with a credit score of 700, is planning to buy a used car and needs to borrow $3,500 with a simple interest rate loan. Determine the interest rate the consumer will qualify for if their credit score decreases by 45 points.
8.132%
9.358%
4.295%
5.597%

Answer 1

To determine the interest rate the consumer will qualify for if their credit score decreases by 45 points, we need to find the corresponding interest rate for a credit score of 655.

Looking at the table provided, we can see that a credit score of 670-739 corresponds to an interest rate of 8.132%. Since the consumer's credit score of 700 falls within this range, we can conclude that they currently qualify for an interest rate of 8.132%.

To determine the interest rate for a credit score of 655, which is 45 points lower, we need to determine if this new score falls within a different range.

Looking at the table again, we can see that a credit score of 580-669 corresponds to an interest rate of 9.358%. Since 655 falls within this range, we can conclude that if the consumer's credit score decreases by 45 points, they will qualify for an interest rate of 9.358%.

Therefore, the correct answer is 9.358%.

Answer 2

omg thank you so much! can you help me in one more problem?

Answer 3

The consumer's initial FICO score is 700. If this drops by 45 points, the new FICO score will be 655. Based on the given FICO score and corresponding interest rates table, a FICO score falling within the range of 670–739 corresponds to a simple interest rate of 8.132%. Since the new FICO score of 655 falls within this category, the consumer would qualify for a simple interest rate of 8.132%.

Therefore, considering the decreased credit score of 655, the consumer will qualify for an interest rate of 8.132%.
