Calculation of Simple Annual Interest Rate
Value of Car = 10,800 Dinars
No. of Installments = 60 (5 Years)
Amt. of each Installments = 225 Dinars
Total Amount to be paid as per payment schedule = No. of Installments * Amt. of each Installment = 60 Installments * 225 Dinars = 13500 Dinars
Amt. of Interest = Total Amt. to be paid as per payment schedule - Value of Car = 13,500 Dinars - 10,800 Dinars = 2,700 Dinars
Rate of Interest = (Amt. of Interest / Value of Car) * 100 / 5 Years = (2,700 Dinars / 10,800 Dinars) * 100% / 5 Years
= 5% Per Annum i.e. Option a. 0.05
