Loans, Credit Scores, And Consumer Credit Practice Test

Which term is defined as the percentage charged by a lender for borrowing money?

Asset Interest rate Debt Loan

Correct Answer:

Interest rate

Explanation:

Interest rate is the percentage charged by a lender for borrowing money. It represents the cost of using someone else’s funds and is typically quoted annually as the APR. For example, borrowing $1,000 at a 5% interest rate would cost about $50 in interest over one year (ignoring compounding for simplicity). The other terms describe different things: an asset is something you own, a debt is money you owe, and a loan is the borrowed amount or the agreement itself, not the charge for borrowing.
