Introduction
Title:Interest rate and credit card debt
Interest is payment from a borrower which more than
the money we borrow. Interest is the charge for the
privilege of borrowing money, typically expressed as
annual percentage rate. Interest can also refer to the
amount of ownership a stockholder has in a
company, usually expressed as a percentage like
1.5%,or a decimal 0.015.
There are two main types of interest that can be
applied to loans: simple and compound. Simple
interest is a set rate on the principle originally lent to
the borrower that the borrower has to pay for the
ability to use the money. Compound interest is
interest on both the principle and the compounding
interest paid on that loan. The latter of the two types
of interest is the most common.
Interest rates have a huge efect on loans. In short,
loans with high interest rates have higher monthly
payments or take longer to pay of than loans with
low interest rates.

In mathematics, a geometric series, also known as a
geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers
where each term after the frst is found by
multiplying the previous one by a fxed, non-zero
number called the common ratio.
Each credit card has a maximum limit. A maximum
limit of RM20000 means total money spent plus
interests incurred must not exceed this amount. This

can ensure that the credit card users will not spent
too much money by using credit card. Each credit
card user will choose a payment plan to repay the
debt every month.
Methodology
i=

Annual interest rate
12

Annual interest rate =18%

i = monthly interest rate
We use 18% divided 12 and get a answer 1.5% .1.5% is our monthly
interest rate.

Balance,bn = Balance,bn-1 - Paid to principal
bn =arn-1

a =8000

Write equation for b1,b2,b3,fnd the frequency and relationship
amog them by compare their diference and make a formula
for bn
For example: equation b1 is b1 =b0 – [ R-(b0)(i)]
Find the equation forb2 and b3 with equation b1.
make three table with three amont larger than 520 such as
600.800.1000 to fnd monthly balance until balance bn is
less than payment.The last month,n will be the month paid
of the payment
Interest due = Balance,bn ×1.5%
Paid to principal = Payment,R - Interest due
Balance,bn = Balance,bn-1 - Paid to principal
bn =arn-1


a =8000

Payment= 520,600,800,1000
When bn =0,
0= bn-1 – [ R-(bn-1)(i)]
b1 =b0 – [ R-(b0)(i)]
We can sub n=0 to fnd equation about b0
Use equation b1 =b0(1+i),b2,b3 and bn.Show bn = b0(1+i)
s

(1+i+ 100 )n-1
b2=b0(1+i)(1+i+ s )
100

b3=b0(1+i)(1+i+ s )2
100

Try to fnd relationship among b1, b2,b3 ,to form a equation for
bn


1

When s=1,sub s=1 into equation bn = b0(1+i)(1+i+ 100 )n-1
1

bn = b0(1+i)(1+i+ 100 )n-1
Then ,sub bn =16000
b0 =8000

i= 0.015
1

16000=8000(1+0.015)(1+0.015 + 100 )n-1
Solve the equation to fnd n

Result
monthly interest rate
i=


Annual interest rate
12

i = 18%
12
i = 1.5%
i=monthly interest rate =1.5%
Every mont ,we will be charge 1.5% of interest rate from our
balance.
This interest rate make us paid more mony then
beginning.Interest rate is also a way to let bank earn money.

Conclusion
In conclusion,the higher the montly
payment,the faster the time of balance paid

of,the decrease the month of the balance paid
of.If the man began and continue paid of the
current balance ,the balance can paid of
faster.If the man decide not to pay at all,the
balance will become more and have to pay
more at future.When the number of s%
increase , month when current payment double
increase.
Furthermore, interest rate will increase when
we need longer time to pay of our
payment.Balance we pay will decrease while
intrest increase through geometry series .We
need to used the shorter time we can to pay of
our payment to reduce the charge of
interest.The higher the interest rate ,the higher
the debt.The shorter the month to paid of the
debt,the less the total amount we paid .As a
consumer,we need to be wise when paying our
debt.We need to have a good planning to pay
of the debt to avoid debt become more until
we cannot repay.
