3 Using Credit with Justin Terest (Section A) Justin Terest was a very ordinary 18 year old boy who was ready to enter his senior year in high school. Just after his birthday in mid-august, his mother and father sat him down to inform him that his father's job was going to take him to Europe for the next four months. Justin and his family may have to move away for the first half of his senior year. Justin didn't want his last high school year to be disrupted like this, so he asked his parents if he could stay home in America while his parents traveled to Europe until late December. Fortunate for Justin, his parents worked it out that he could stay with a friend of the family until his parents arrived back in the country in December. Since Justin was staying with a family friend his parents setup some financial supervision for him. First, they were allowing him to use the family car during this time period. He only had to fill the car with gas, and get one oil change while his parents were gone. His parents also left four envelopes with the family friend. Justin was to receive one envelope at the beginning of each month. Justin was surprised to learn that each envelope had $300 in it for him to use for spending money. Meals and board were supplied by the family he was staying with. Lastly, his parents had Justin apply for his first credit card. The card was to be used only to buy larger items. Most importantly, his parents told him that if he used the credit card he should try to payoff the balance at the end of each month when the bill arrived. Justin enthusiastically agreed. He had never used a credit card before, and he was pretty excited to have money available whenever he really needed it for the first time in his life. Mr. and Mrs. Terest left for Europe on September 1st. They wouldn't arrive back to America until the end of the December. Justin was a little nervous about his parents being away, but he was also looking forward to some personal and financial independence. Justin received his first envelop of money on the day his parents left. He used some of the money Labor Day weekend to get a bite to eat with his friends and take in a movie. He thought to himself, "Boy, I have a lot of money available to spend. I feel pretty lucky! This is going to be a fun four months." Justin had never really managed money before, but he felt pretty confident that he had plenty of money to do the things he enjoyed, and he would have enough money to buy a few extras along the way. Please look at Justin's purchases over the next four months. Calculate his credit card charges and figure out if he had enough money to pay all of his bills at the end of each month. His credit card company (TAKEMECASH CREDIT CARD COMPANY) charges 18% interest rate annually. Each month he must pay a finance charge of 1.5 % on any unpaid balance. Also, required by the TAKEMECASH credit card company was a minimum payment of $ The booklets you have in your small groups will indicate how much money Justin spent each month on credit. Please calculate and discuss each of his purchases as a group. Record your findings on the final page of the packet. We will do the month of September together to make sure you are all understanding how to record his purchases.
4 Using Credit with Justin Terest - (Section B) Justin Terest was a very ordinary 18 year old boy who was ready to enter his senior year in high school. In mid-august, his parents sat him down and informed him that his father's work was going to take him to Europe for the entire school year. Unfortunately, that meant that Justin and his family may have to move away for his senior year. Justin didn't want his last year of high school to be disrupted, so he asked his parents if he could stay home while his parents traveled to Europe for the school year. Fortunately for Justin, a friend of the family said that Justin could stay with them for the school year. Since Justin was staying with a family friend his parents setup some financial independence for him. First, they were allowing him to use the family car during this time period. He only had to fill the car with gas, and get an oil change every other month. His parents also left him with ten envelopes, one for each month. Each envelope contained $300. So how much money did his parents leave him? Justin was surprised that he had so much money. Lastly, his parents had Justin apply for his first credit card. The card was to be used to make purchasing items a little easier for him. Also, he wouldn't have to carry a lot of money with him. Justin had never used a credit card before, but he was pretty excited to have money available whenever he really needed it. Justin was a little nervous about his parents going away, but he was looking forward to some personal and financial independence. Justin had never really managed money before, but he felt pretty confident that he had plenty of money to do the things he enjoyed. In the beginning of the school year, Justin had to spend the bulk of his money on several items. He bought clothes, school supplies, a new ipod, and went out with his friends for a bite to eat, or to catch a movie once in awhile. He felt he didn't waste money, and thought it would be best to charge everything to his credit card. By doing this, he could keep track of everything he was spending money on. The he would pay it off a little at a time. Over the course of the school year, Justin continued to purchase items and he paid for everything with his credit card. It was easy to do, and he was paying a portion of the charges off every month.($50) He was eager to show his parents he was able to spend money wisely in their absence. Within each of your groups, you will receive a large card which displays the charges that Justin made that school year and has not yet paid off. His credit card company (TAKEMECASH CREDIT CARD COMPANY) charges an interest rate annually. Also, required by the TAKEMECASH credit card company was a minimum payment of $50.00 each month. Each of you have a different amount of money that you will be working with. Give me an idea what you think should be put in all the remaining blanks. Once you have finished filling in each of the blanks, I would like you to check the actual amount he must pay in order to payoff his credit card at this rate on the computer in the front of the classroom. Lastly, you will flip the card over and come up with an answer to the questions on the back of your card. Points will be given for details given, and drama! (Provide examples and definitions)
