A company borrows $150,000 from a bank for 200 days. The bank charges interest at a rate of 7.3%.
A: At the stated rate of interest, how much would the company have to repay the bank at maturity?
B: If the note is discounted (interest is taken out upfront), what would the effective rate of interest be, and how much would have to be repaid at maturity?
Part A:
Amount to be repaid = Loan + Int
Int = PTR
P = Principal
T = Time period
R = Int Rate per anum
= $ 150000 + $ 150000 * 7.3% * ( 200 / 365 )
= $ 150000 + $ 6000
= $ 156000
Part B:
Int Rate = Int Amount / [ Loan - Int ]
= $ 6000 / [ $ 150000 - $ 6000 ]
= $ 6000 / $ 144000
= 0.04167 for 200 days
Annual Int Rate = 4.167% * 365 / 200
= 0.076 I.e 7.60%
Amount to be repaid at maturity is Loan AmountI.e $ 150000.
