The holder of a retail installment contract by written agreement may renew the entire unpaid balance on any retail installment contract and may make a charge therefor at the rates charged in the original contract from the date of renewal to the maturity of the final installment. The amount of the balance to be renewed shall be obtained by adding to the existing unpaid balance on the original contract, the cost of any insurance or other benefits for the period of the extension and any accrued default charges and refunding the unearned portion of the time price differential charged according to the formula provided in section 43 of this act; provided, however, that in computing the unearned time price differential charge no allowance shall be taken for the amount of the acquisition cost permitted therein.
