Question 7 • SNHS NV-Civics and Economics

Verona goes to a business that offers tax refund anticipation loans because she really wants to get her money right now and not wait. They calculate her refund to be $985 and charge her $130 in fees for the loan. If the term on her loan is 15 days, what is the annual percentage rate on her loan?

Answer
A
130%
B
184%
C
317%
D
321%

Explanation

Calculate the fee as a fraction of the loan: $130 ÷ $985 ≈ 0.132. Annualize that rate for a 15-day loan: 0.132 × (365 ÷ 15) × 100 ≈ 321%. The annual percentage rate is about 321%, choice D.
