pay off the debt at the end of a fixed period, including accrued
interest on the outstanding balance.
Annual percentage rate (A.P.R.)
APR is a measurement of the full cost of a loan including
interest and loan fees expressed as a yearly percentage rate.
Because all lenders apply the same rules in calculating the
annual percentage rate, it provides consumers with a good basis
for comparing the cost of loans.
