Credit card debt is a reality for many in today’s world. Suppose that you had a $5,270.00 balance on a credit card with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 15.53 percent. Consider the following questions and prepare a report based upon your conclusions. This report must be submitted as a Word document and attachment to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox. Consider the following questions and prepare a report based upon your conclusions. Your report should be created as a Word document, but you are encouraged to create graphs and charts (which can be made in Excel and copied to the Word document) to illustrate your points. Remember: make sure you explain what the charts and/or graphs mean; do not assume the reader understands what they mean.
1.Most credit cards require that you pay a minimum monthly payment of two percent of the balance. Based upon a balance of $5,270.00, what would be the minimum monthly payment (assuming no other fees are being applied)?
2.Considering the minimum payment you just calculated, determine the amount of interest and the amount that was applied to reduce the principal. Hint: You’ll need to find the total interest for the year first.
3.Consider one of your credit cards. What is the balance? How is the minimum monthly payment determined? What would be the minimum payment? How much of the minimum payment goes towards interest? How much of the minimum payment goes towards the principal? If you do not want to share an actual balance or do not have a credit card, calculate these amounts using an imaginary credit card balance.
4.Now, examine the terms of one of your credit cards or other revolving debt. Are there other charges that the credit card company is applying to your account? Are you receiving a special rate for a limited time? Does your card charge an annual service charge or an inactivity fee?
5.Examine a credit card bill (or other revolving debt) and see how long it will take to pay off your debt if you paid only the minimum payments (you can also use an online calculator like the one at https://www.bankrate.com/calculators/managing-debt/minimum-payment-calculator.aspx). What steps could you take to pay off this credit card (or debt) sooner? Determine the percentage of the principal that you need to pay down in order to pay off the credit card in the time frame of your choosing.
6.Many Americans find themselves amassing large amounts of credit card (or other revolving) debt at an early age. What advice concerning the use of credit cards and the fees they charge would you provide to a young adult planning on getting a credit card?

For this first writing assignment you are asked to summarize the major reasons that have been proposed for the dramatic drop in crime that we have seen in the last 20 years (incarceration, the economy, abortion, lead poisoning, antidepressants). After briefly describing the major reasons that have been put forward by scholars in the area, chose one which you find the most/least compelling and describe at least one empirical test on that idea in some detail. Conclude with a section which argues why you believe this factor has played a large role in the decline in crime using evidence from your readings to support your position.
In 3-4 double-spaced pages, you should:
 Summarize the major reasons that have been proposed.
 Discuss one factor in greater detail, including the specifics of an empirical test which has been conducted. Note: This should be an additional empirical article of your choosing (not one of the ones assigned for class).
o Discuss the data and methods used to test this idea.
o Discuss the author’s findings.
 Argue for the legitimacy of this factor in relation to the crime drop.
Assignments should be written in the third person and should use the active rather than passive voice. A reference section should be included. All writing should be in 12pt font with standard 1” margins around the edge of the paper. Content is more important than length, so don’t cheat yourself by using weird fonts and/or spacing.
