Test No. incompl/advan-11 "Finance", question 6

When you take out a large loan over many years, you don't start paying off the ......... for some time.

(a) main
(b) chief
(c) capital
(d) bulk

Test No. incompl/advan-11 "Finance", answer 6

When you take out a large loan over many years, you don't start paying off the capital for some time.

Correct answer: (c) capital

Your answer was: incorrect
When you take out a large loan over many years, you don't start paying off the bulk for some time.
_________________________

In reality, you pay some principal with the very first payment you make, but to pay the bulk of your loan would require you to make payments for a long time or more than half of the amortization period!
