Colleen took out a $48,000 student loan with a fixed interest rate to pay for college. Colleen did not make payments on her loan for a period of 7 years. After this time period interest had accrued, resulting in the loan balance increasing to $78,000. a. What is is the 7-year growth factor for the amount that Colleen owes on the loan? Preview b. What is the 7-year percent change for the amount that Colleen owes on the loan? % Preview c. What is is the 1-year growth factor for the amount that Colleen owes on the loan? Preview d. What is the 1-year percent change for the amount that Colleen owes on the loan? % Preview Submit

Respuesta :

a)The 7-year growth factor for the amount on the loan is $4285.71 b)  7-year percentage change for the amount is 6.25% c) 1-year growth factor for the amount $612.244 and d) 1-year percent change for the amount is 0.894%.

a)We know very well that growth factor is ratio of difference of principal amount and loan amount to the time taken, or

Growth factor=(Final loan amount-Initial loan amount)/Total time

=>Growth factor=(78,000-48,000)/7

=>Growth factor=30,000/7=$4285.71

b)To find the percentage change in amount, we need to use initial loan amount and the difference between two amounts, or

 percentage change=((78000-48000)/48000)×100

=>percentage change=[(30000)/48000)]×100

=>percentage change=300/48=6.25%

c)Now, we have already find the growth factor for 7 years, we need to find growth rate in 1 year. So, we use unitary method to find it

=>In 7 years growth factor is=$4285.71

  ∴In 1 years growth factor is=$4285.71/7=$612.244

d)In 7 years percentage change for the given amount is =6.25%

∴In 1 year percentage change for the given amount=6.25/7=0.894%

Hence, answers are a)$4285.71 b)6.25% c)$612.244 d)0.894%
