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. If she were to consider the processing fee to represent interest paid in her formula, what would she discover to be the annual interest rate she was charged on her short term loan? QUESTION 2 The end of the month has arrived and Marina was only able to save up a portion of the money she owed so far. This means she will have to delay paying off on the remaining amount. 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.

As her business started to grow, she realized she would soon need to hire one or two people and that will need money to pay for their compensation. In other words, she could not grow her business without borrowing. She plans to borrow $7,600 for 2 years however she doesn't have a very good credit rating so most finance companies want to charge her a high-interest rate. She finally finds a lender that will loan her the money at 12% compounded monthly. Discussion Question: 1. How much interest will Jessica have to pay to the lender? 2. If you were Jessica, will you lend money at a higher interest rate? Why? 3. What other options are available and what should she do, aside from borrowing money. 4. Assume Hernandez has successfully managed her business for several years. List five possible reasons she may still need to borrow from time to time.arrow_forward
