Calculating an Implicit Interest Rate
An individual expects to receive an income of $2,000 in the next period. They borrow $500 in the current period for an immediate expense. After repaying the full loan amount plus all the accumulated interest in the next period, they are left with $1,450 for consumption. Based on this information, what was the interest rate on the loan? Express your answer as a percentage.

A person has a guaranteed income of $200 in the next period. They decide to borrow $50 in the current period to increase their immediate spending, agreeing to an interest rate of 20%.

Calculating Borrowing Capacity
A person with a future income of $100 and no current income borrows $30 at a 10% interest rate. After repaying the loan and interest, they will have $67 left for future consumption. If the interest rate were to increase to 20%, but the person still borrows the same $30, what would be the impact on their available funds for future consumption?
An individual with a guaranteed future income of $1,000 decides to borrow $200 at an interest rate of 15%. A second individual, also with a guaranteed future income of $1,000, borrows $300 at an interest rate of 5%. True or False: After repaying their respective loans with interest in the future, the first individual will have more money left for consumption than the second individual.
An individual has a guaranteed future income of $100. Match each borrowing scenario with the correct amount of money they will have left for future consumption after repaying the loan and interest.
