Problem 6.67 – Unveiling the True Cost of an Add-On Interest Rate Loan
Fundamentals of Corporate Finance
Ross, Westerfield, and Jordan
13th Edition

Calculate the annual percentage rate (APR) and effective annual rate (EAR) for this loan, considering the total amount owed after the repayment period and the equal monthly payments.
