You have just borrowed $100,000 to buy a condo. You will repay the loan in equal monthly payments of $804.62 over the next 30 years.
a. What monthly interest rate are you paying on the loan?'
b. What is the APR?
c. What is the effective annual rate on that loan?
d. What rate is the lender more likely to quote on the loan?
Given that,
amount borrowed PV = $100000
equal monthly payment = $804.62
term in year = 30
So, total number of payment = 30*12 = 360
interest rate can be calculated on financial calculator using following values:
FV = 0
PV = 100000
PMT = -804.62
N = 360
compute for I/Y, we get I/Y = 0.75
So, monthly rate = 0.75%
APR = 12*monthly rate = 12*0.75 = 9%
c). effective annual rate = (1+APR/n)^n - 1 = (1 + 0.09/12)^12 - 1 = 9.38%
d). Lender will quote APR on the loan as APR is less than Effective annual rate.
