If Tony Jones knows he can get a car loan for up to 5 years at a credit union but decides that he can easily repay the loan in 3 years, and therefore gets a 3-year loan, how is Tony reducing the lender's risk? He is sharing the interest rate risk with his lender. He is pledging valuable assets that can be seized if the loan is not repaid. He is repaying the loan over a faster period of time. He is taking a larger stake in the asset he is purchasing. He is obtaining the loan from the credit union. Question 16. Sarah Russell starts the month with a balance of $1,000 on her credit card.

The average daily balance for the month including the new purchase is $883. The average daily balance for the month excluding the new purchase is $750. Sarah's interest rate is 1.5% for the month.
