Charge it Put it on my account Add it to my student loan As these statements indicate, buying on credit is a way of life in the United States. Simply stated, credit is an arrangement to receive cash, goods, or services now and pay for them in the future (Rejda and McNamara, 1998). Consumer credit is differentiated from other types of credit (i.e., business credit) in that it is credit for personal and family needs (except a home mortgage). According the 2004 Survey of Consumer Finance, the median value of credit-card balances and installment loans for a typical family in 2004 was 13,700 (Bucks et al., 2006). Installment loans describe consumer loans that require fixed payments and a fixed term (e.g., an automobile loan). 

Instalment loans (also called amortising loans) are the standard type of auto finance contracts. If customers choose instalment loans, they are required to make the same instalments over the life of the loan, with decreasing interest proportions and increasing principal proportions. Usually, the borrower has to make a certain down payment in the beginning, which is typically about 5-10% of the sales price, but can vary between lenders. 

The cost of an energy management system at one site in the north of England was of the order of 1,000,000 and the payback period was just over 2 years. In view of the high cost of such systems, it may be possible to obtain a system on a loan basis, the system being rented from the installer or by lease purchase. All options should be considered before entering into a contract. 

Capital costs can be estimated by applying installation factors to the purchase costs of individual items of equipment. However, there is considerable uncertainty associated with cost estimates obtained in this way, as equipment costs are typically only 20 to 40% of the total installed costs, with the remainder based on factors. Utility investment, off-site investment and working capital are also needed to complete the capital investment. The capital cost can be annualized by considering it as a loan over a fixed period at a fixed rate of interest. 

A man wishes to borrow 2,400 so he can buy a new car. He can get a bank loan for which he would be required to pay 7% interest on the initial loan. The payments would be in equal monthly installments over a period of one year. He could also get a loan from the credit union where he works. The terms are that each month he would pay 200 to reduce the capital borrowed and 1% interest on the unpaid balance. What is the total interest paid for each loan ... 

Example 10-9 shows why banks like short-term loans that are paid in equal installments. The actual rate the bank is charging is almost double the stated rate. When closing costs (a charge made to cover the cost of administering the loan) are added to the interest charges, the cost to the borrower is often greater than double the stated rate. 

When an individual buys a house he generally cannot afford to pay back a certain percentage plus a rate of interest on the unpaid balance each month. Even when he can, he would prefer to pay the loan back in equal installments each month. A formula is developed in Table 10-6 for determining the value of the payment. The result is ...

Balloon loans allow borrowers to repay the loan in relatively low monthly instalments followed by a single balloon payment at the end (usually up to 60% of the loan). In general, balloon loans are considered more risky than loans with full repayment under equal instalments due to the high residual value (RV) and the possibility that the borrower may not be able to afford to make the final balloon payment. Balloon loans may offer the borrower a set of options before the final payment is due ... 

Everyday applications of annuities include house, automobile, and other loan payments (installments), where the total amount paid back over the loan period includes not only the principal (original amount of the loan), but also interest, sometimes in substantial amounts. Those saving for retirement put payments into an annuity over a period of years, with interest added to their payments. Upon retirement, retirees receive periodic payments over a specified period of years, with the unpaid amount at any period still accumulating interest. Periodic payments are also made to life insurance policies. Other kinds of annuities are created for corporations to accumulate capital, perhaps for building a new chemical processing plant.

The customer could purchase a commodity nuclear power plant, already license certified, and he would bring it on-line with a very short on-site installation and checkout period so as to start a revenue stream shortly after taking on his financing loans and equity. In this way, the licensing uncertainty would be eliminated and the interest during construction could be reduced. 

For the applications critical to the theme of this book, Phil Brierley was the next key person, because he put me in touch with John Refiner in 1993 at the ICOFTS meeting in Calgary. John at the time was working on IR microscopes, which need exactly the IRSR source. Quickly, working with Larry Carr and Paul Dumas, the first microscope was loaned to the NSLS and installed in September 1993 using a sewer pipe to eliminate water vapor.
