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.
