- A.
Amount Available = Credit Limit - Amount Used
- B.
Amount Available = Credit Limit - Expected Repayments for current month

Why does Kiva add expected repayments for the current month back into your Amount Available?
- A.
Kiva assumes you will repay these funds on time and hence extends this amount as “float” for the current month.
- B.
Kiva assumes that these loans will be published on the Kiva website within the current month.
- C.
Kiva knows there is a risk you may not repay these funds on time and hence does not want to make this amount available for fundraising.
- D.
Kiva considers these funds to be “used” and hence does not want to make this amount available for fundraising.
Correct Answer
A. Kiva assumes you will repay these funds on time and hence extends this amount as “float” for the current month.Explanation
Kiva adds expected repayments for the current month back into your Amount Available because they assume that you will repay these funds on time. By extending this amount as "float" for the current month, Kiva allows you to use these funds before they are actually received, giving you more flexibility in managing your finances.Rate this question:

- B.
$20,000
- C.
$100,000
- D.
$120,000

Your credit limit is $100,000, and your amount available is $60,000. You remit $10,000 to Kiva, which Kiva settles out to lenders. There are no further repayments expected this month. What is your amount available now?
- A.
$50,000
- B.
$70,000
- C.
$60,000
- D.
$100,000
Correct Answer
B. $70,000Explanation
After remitting $10,000 to Kiva, the amount available would decrease by $10,000. Therefore, the new amount available would be $60,000 - $10,000 = $50,000. However, since there are no further repayments expected this month, the credit limit of $100,000 is still available. Hence, the correct answer is $50,000 (amount available) + $20,000 (remaining credit limit) = $70,000.Rate this question:

Your credit limit is $100,000. You have used $97,000 and Kiva expects to receive $2,000 in repayments this month. You wish to post a new loan for $10,000. Is this a good idea?
- A.
Yes, you have sufficient amount available.
- B.
No, you do not have sufficient amount available.
Correct Answer
B. No, you do not have sufficient amount available.Explanation
Since you have used $97,000 of your $100,000 credit limit and Kiva expects to receive only $2,000 in repayments this month, your available amount would be $100,000 - $97,000 + $2,000 = $5,000. Therefore, you do not have sufficient amount available to post a new loan for $10,000.Rate this question:
