Finance
charge can be defined as the amount charged by a creditor to a debtor as
borrowing fees or by a seller to a buyer for allowing the buyer to extend the
payment period for a certain good/service. In this case, the original price
of the car was $3,250. But since Michael's Plumbing was not able to pay the
full amount at once, they made a down payment of $450 and later 24 equal
installments of $150. In total, the amount paid will be (450+(150*24))=
$4,050. The finance charge is what they will pay over and above the initial
cash price. This is arrived at by getting the difference as follows
$4,050-$3,250= $800
