Automobiles of the future will most likely be manufactured largely with carbon fibers made from recycled plastics, wood pulp, and cellulose. Replacing half the ferrous metals in current automobiles could reduce a vehicle’s weight by 60% and fuel consumption by 30%. One impediment to using carbon fibers in cars is cost. If the justification for the extra sticker price of carbon-fiber cars is solely based on fuel savings, how much extra sticker price can be justified over a six-year life span if the carbon-fiber car would average 39 miles per gallon of gasoline compared to a conventional car averaging 30 miles per gallon? Assume that gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon, the interest rate is 20% per year, and 117,000 miles are driven uniformly over six years.
A local financing bank granted a car loan to a man who agreed to pay a rate of interest of 20%. Interest in this type of transaction is to be deducted from the loan at the time the money is released. At the end of one year, the borrower will have to pay the same amount that is stated in his loan application. What actual interest did the financing bank charge him? Do a manual solution.
A college freshman borrowed P5,000 from a bank for his tuition fee and promised to pay the amount for one year. He received only the amount of P4745 after the bank collected the advance interest. What was the rate of discount?
