Question

Finance

A local finance company quotes an interest rate of 17.1 percent on one-year loans. So, if you borrow $20,000, the interest for the year will be $3,420. Because you must repay a total of $23,420 in one year, the finance company requires you to pay $23,420/12, or $1,951.67, per month over the next 12 months. Is the interest rate on this loan 17.1 percent?

a. What rate would legally have to be quoted? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is the effective annual rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
