Finance

The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) requires lenders to disclose the annual percentage rate (APR). The APR differs from the note rate because:

AAPR is always lower than the note rate
BAPR includes the note rate plus certain fees, reflecting the true cost of credit✓ Correct
CAPR applies only to adjustable-rate mortgages
DAPR is the rate used to calculate the monthly payment

Explanation

The APR incorporates the interest rate plus prepaid finance charges (points, origination fees, PMI) expressed as a yearly rate, giving borrowers a more accurate picture of the loan's total cost.
