Which of the following is considered to be open-end credit?
A mortgage
A car loan
Department store charge cards
Installment loans
Answer explanation
Open-end credit is a revolving live of credit that is offered by banks and other lenders to consumers. There is a limit set on the line of credit and the funds, products or services are accessed using a credit or debit card, check, store charge card or cash advance. Consumers pay interest on the outstanding balance. A car loan is made for a specified amount and a specific length of time and is therefore considered closed-end credit. A mortgage loan is also considered a form of closed-end credit since the house serves as collateral for the loan which is made at a specified interest rate for a specified time period.

What is meant by an uncollateralized loan?
A loan not backed by a co-signer who agrees to cover the amount of the loan.
A personal loan without assets to cover the loan amount.
A home equity loan.
A loan taken on a life insurance policy.
Answer explanation
Collateral is a tangible asset that is used to secure a loan. In the case of a mortgage, the actual house or apartment serves as the collateral for that loan. The same is true of a car loan. If the person who takes the loan, defaults on that loan, the bank or other lending agency has the right to keep the collateral. Therefore, an uncollateralized loan is one that does not have an asset to support the loan.

To qualify for a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan, a person must generally--
have at least a high school diploma.
have one-quarter of the cost of the home for a down-payment.
fulfill income guidelines.
provide two individuals to co-sign the loan.
Answer explanation
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
insures lenders who make mortgage loans that are riskier than regular bank loans because FHA loans are made to individuals who usually would not qualify for regular low-cost mortgages from banks (usually first-time home buyers with lower income and a weaker credit score). The objective of this federal agency is to encourage home ownership while helping to protect the lenders at the same time.
