What does the value of collateral or down payment affect? Choose three correct answers.

A larger down payment reduces how much you need to borrow, so it affects the amount borrowed. More collateral or a larger down payment gives the lender greater protection if the borrower does not repay, lowering the lender’s perceived risk and often the interest rate. It does not determine which credit cards are available or the repayment schedule.
