Example
Customer is registering a vehicle on
October 23, 2008
to expire
June 4, 2009
Annual fees are $68
and $465
insurance premium*. Use the prorate wheel to determine the prorate factor and number of days in the term.
Total annual fees of $533
prorated for a term of 225 days is
328.54 or rounded up = $329.
($533.00 X .6164 = $329.00).
Multiply $329.00 times the Percentage Charged of 1.30% of the Converted Percent of .0130.
Result is 4.277 rounded to $4.00.
($329 X .0130 = 4.277 or $4.00)
Add the flat fee of $11.00 to this to calculate the total finance fee of $15.00.
($4.00 + $11.00 = $15.00)
This is then added to the total prorated amount to calculate the amount charged to the customer
of $344.
($15.00 + $329.00 = $344.00)
*Note: this is the insurance premium after applying the "U-drive" Surcharge of the "Farm Located"
discount and then any RECOGNITION calculation.
