Question 8 • TX-Personal Financial Literacy and Economics

A car dealership analyzing whether it will loan money to William to buy a new car finds that his credit score is in the "very good” range.Which statement best describes the lender’s viewpoint of William?

Answer
A
He is a low-risk borrower who qualifies for lower interest rates.
B
He is a low-risk borrower who will struggle to obtain a loan.
C
He is a high-risk borrower who will get multiple loan offers.
D
He is a high-risk borrower who qualifies for higher interest rates.

Explanation

A “very good” credit score generally signals that William has a strong history of repaying debts, so the lender sees him as a low-risk borrower. Lenders are more likely to approve low-risk borrowers and offer them lower interest rates. The statement that he will struggle to obtain a loan describes a higher-risk applicant, not someone with very good credit.
