The owner of an automobile repair center purchased new electronic diagnostic equipment for $15,000. He paid down and then paid 60 monthly payments of $296.91. Determine the APR of the loan to the nearest one-half of a percent.

Respuesta :

Answer: 11.5%

Explanation:

Annual Percentage Rate (APR) can be defined as the annual rate of percentage earned via investment or charged for borrowing a particular loan.

​

APR=(( Fees+Interest/principal) /n)×365)×100

where:

Interest=Total interest paid over life of the loan

Principal=Loan amount

n=Number of days in loan term

Using the formulae, if properly calculated, the annual percentage rate (APR) of the loan to the nearest one-half of a percent would be 11.5%
