Charles is a divorce attorney who practices law in New York City. He wants to join the American Divorce Lawyers Association (ADLA), a professional organization for divorce attorneys. The membership dues for the ADLA are $550 per year and must be paid at the beginning of each year. For instance, membership dues for the first year are paid today, and dues for the second year are payable one year from today.

QUESTION 1
Marina had an accident with her car and the repair bill came to $900. She didn't have any emergency fund money and no extra money in her monthly budget, so she ended up borrowing from a pay-day loan company. As long as she can pay the loan back at the end of the 30 day period she won't be charged any interest, technically. However, she did have to pay an $19 processing fee per $100 that she borrowed.

Besides the delayed payment fee that she is charged, she will now have to pay interest on the remaining amount until it is paid off. The APR (annual percentage rate) is 46.5%, but the interest is…

Hak Young realizes that payment amount, even though reduced, is just not manageable based on how much he currently makes and all of the other expenses he also has to budget for.
