Math EXAM 2

Consumer math exam 2 formulas (units 6-10)

TermDefinition
Minimum payment made formula Previous balance x % of previous balance (at the end of the word problem.)
Interest formula (interest payment) for amortization/credit card tables Previous balance x APR/12
New balance formula Previous balance - minimum payment made + purchases + interest
New balance formula (with additional payment) Previous balance - minimum payment made - additional payment + purchases + interest
The monthly payment formula you use is the one where APR is divided by 12. (T/F) True.
Previous balance can also be called previous outstanding balance. (T/F) True.
Payment to principal formula Monthly payment - interest
APR might also be referred to as interest. Look for an interest rate in your question. (T/F) True.
Outstanding balance formula Loan amount (outstanding balance) - payment to principal
You are given your initial outstanding balance as a loan amount. (T/F) True. EX: "You take out a $3,500 loan for 1 year..." the $3,500 is your loan amount (outstanding balance.)
Amount paid in formula (Monthly payment)(12)(# of years)
Interest paid on loan formula Amount paid in on loan - amount financed
Sometimes, the amount financed is already included in the word problem for you. (T/F) True.
Amount saved formula Interest paid on loan #1 - interest paid on loan #2
Sales tax formula (Price of car) x (Sales tax rate)
Amount financed formula Price of car + Sales tax + TTL - down payment
Comparing 2 credit cards formula (interest) (Balance) x (APR) of each card. Add an annual fee to the calculated interest, if applicable, then compare and see which credit card is cheaper.
For the amortization table, you use the new outstanding balance amount to calculate interest as the table goes down. (T/F) True. (your outstanding balance changes, only use the original outstanding balance amount for the first row.) The same applies to calculating outstanding balance.
Round to the nearest penny on all amounts. When multiplying a rounded number, re-type the rounded to penny version into the calculator for the most accurate answer. (T/F) True.
For monthly payment on amortization, your monthly payment STAYS THE SAME. You only calculate monthly payment once. True.
