Case contract

x = {'term' n, 'paid' k, 'finance_charge', 'acq_fee' (fully earned up front), 'payment', 'min_rebate'}. Rebatable charge = finance_charge - acq_fee; remaining r = n - k; rebate = round_half_up(rebatable * r(r+1) / (n(n+1))), set to 0 when below min_rebate. Payoff = payment*r - rebate; earned = finance_charge - rebate. Return {'rebate', 'payoff', 'earned'}.

Why this case matters

Amortization engines drive borrower statements, payoff quotes and investor remittances; a misplaced rounding step, boundary or ordering rule compounds across hundreds of periods.
