You borrowed $2,000 from a bank and 8 months later, you paid it off with $2,160. What annual interest rate did you pay?
Please show how to set up. Thanks
PV = Amount borrowed = $2,000
FV = Amount paid = $2,160
Interest amount = Amount paid - Amount borrowed = $2,160 - $2,000 = $160
n = 18 months
Annual interest rate = (Interest amount * 12) / (Amount borrowed * number of months)
= ($160 * 12) / ($2,000 * 8)
= 12%
Therefore, annual interest rate paid is 12%
