10. Denise took out a payday loan for $300 in August. By February of the next year, she was able to pay back the loan, but she had spent a total of $750 doing so. What’s the most likely story of how this happened?

Payday loans must be paid in full within two weeks, and if not, the only option is to renew the loan for a high penalty fee, which she did approximately 12 times

The minimum monthly payment for payday loans is usually only $10 or $15, so a lot of interested accumulated

Upfront, Denise knew there would be $450 of fees attached to the loan, but she took out the loan anyway

Denise not only paid the $300 she owed, but she prepaid an extra $450 in case she needs another loan in upcoming months

11. Taylor is about to go car shopping, and she has $5000 saved that she can use for a down payment while still having extra cash in her emergency fund. She expects the exact model car she’s looking for to cost $35,000. If her top priority is having the lowest monthly payments possible, which advice should she follow?

Put in $5000 for your down payment, and choose a loan with a long term length

Put in $0 for your down payment, and choose a loan with a short term length

Put in $2500 for your down payment, and choose a loan with a short term length

Put in $3500 for your down payment, and choose a loan with a long term length

12. Reading through a credit card’s Schumer Box, you see the APR for a specific card is set at 9.99% - 23.99%. Which statement is true?

Your APR will be within that range, depending on the strength of your credit history

When given a range of APRs like this, you can assume most cardholders pay the lowest rate listed

In this case, you want the highest APR in the range because you’ll earn more

The APR on credit cards is usually fixed, so it won't be adjusted as long as you are a cardholder

13. What is an advantage of using a credit card?

You can make an emergency purchase that you otherwise don’t have the money to pay for right now

It will not affect your credit score or credit history

Since it is tied directly to your checking account, it prevents you from spending money you do not have

If you need to carry a balance, the interest rates are generally quite low (less than 5%)

14. Credit card disclosure: "Your due date is at least 25 days after the end of the billing cycle. We will not charge you interest on new purchases provided that you have paid your previous balance in full by the due date each month." Identify the true statement.

The 25 days after the end of the billing cycle is referred to as the grace period

If you make the minimum payment on your card within the 25 day period, the credit card company will not charge you interest

If you pay your previous balance in full after the due date, the credit card company will not charge you interest

25 days is an exceptionally long period without paying a credit card bill

16. Select the statement below that accurately describes a characteristic of a credit card.

Making full payments on-time every month is the only way to avoid interest charges

You owe the same payment every month

You must have money deposited into a checking account to use the credit card for purchases

Qualifying for a low interest rate

Bargaining for a great sales price

Having a wide selection of term lengths

Open and use a secured credit card

20. Amy and Chuck each buy a house in the same neighborhood for $250,000. Amy's monthly mortgage payment is $400 more per month than Chuck's. Which one of the following statements could explain this difference?

Amy chose a shorter term for her mortgage, so her monthly payments are higher

Amy made a larger down payment, so her monthly payments are also larger

Chuck chose a shorter term for his mortgage, so his monthly payments are also lower

Chuck has a lower credit score, so his interest payments are also lower

21. Why are payday loans so much easier to qualify for than traditional bank loans?

Payday loans require proof of employment or other regular income but not a credit check

Payday loans are only used by affluent households, and the banks know they have enough money to cover them

Payday loans are just another word for direct deposit, and almost all employers offer their employees direct deposit instead of a paper paycheck

Payday loans are typically for such small dollar amounts that no one cares if you repay them or not

22. Trudy tells her mom that she wants to buy a house within two years of graduating from college. Her mom says Trudy will need a down payment first. What is a down payment?

A specific type of tax advantaged bank account used for saving money to buy a house

The first year’s worth of property taxes, held in reserve

A prepayment to a real estate agent so that they will start helping you house hunt

24. Which of the following statements is true about this Schumer Box?

A 28.99% APR may be applied to your account for late payment

Depending on your creditworthiness, the APR for a borrower will always either be 8.99%, 10.99% or 12.99%

There is an introductory APR that is valid only for 1 year, but then the permanent APR is lower than that at 8.99%.

You will never be charged an APR higher than 14.99%

25. Why would credit card companies prefer that their cardholders make the minimum monthly payment every month rather than paying their total balance in full?

This enables the credit card company to make more money

This is required by federal law for tax purposes

This allows the card holder to pay their bill quickly and close the card when they’re ready

This helps cardholders develop financial independence

5. Which of these statements best explains why it's often a good idea to pay more than the monthly amount due on an amortized loan?
