14–8 © 2009 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning Computing Effective Interest Rates To calculate the effective interest rate, we use the formula, where I is the amount of interest in dollars, T is the time of the loan in years, and P is the average unpaid balance (or the average principal) over the period of the loan. The average unpaid balance is the sum of all of the unpaid monthly balances divided by the number of months. (Note: The term effective interest rate is also used in other contexts where a different formula is used to find the effective rate.) 5 T E R M S

14–26 © 2009 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning Assignment 14.3 Amortization and Mortgages A Lincoln Lending Corp. amortizes all of its mortgage loans and many of its personal loans on a monthly basis. The total monthly payments are equal each month and include both interest and principal. Use Table 14-1 to find the amortization payment factor for each loan. Then compute the monthly payment.

14–27 © 2009 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning Assignment 14.3 Amortization and Mortgages B On April 13, Braunda Johannesen borrowed $6,000 from her bank to help her pay her federal income taxes for the previous year. The bank amortized her loan over 4 months at an annual rate of 9%. Braunda paid interest of 0.75% of the unpaid balance each month. Find the amortization payment factor in Table This factor makes a total payment of $1, each month except the last. For the last month, the total payment is the interest payment plus the unpaid balance. Complete the following amortization schedule.

14–28 © 2009 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning Assignment 14.3 Amortization and Mortgages C Refer to Part B, in which Braunda Johannesen borrowed $6,000 to help pay her federal income taxes. Now suppose that Braunda agreed to make payments of $1,200 in months 1, 2, and 3. The bank will compute the interest on the unpaid balance at a rate of 0.75% (9%/12) each month and deduct the interest from the $1,200. In the last (fourth) month, Braunda will pay all of the remaining unpaid balance plus the interest for the last month. Complete the table, using the same procedure as in Part B.
