This question illustrates what is known as discount
interest. Imagine you are discussing a loan with a somewhat
unscrupulous lender. You want to borrow $34,000 for one year. The
interest rate is 20.75 percent. You and the lender agree that the
interest on the loan will be .2075 × $34,000 = $7,055. So, the
lender deducts this interest amount from the loan up front and
gives you $26,945. In this case, we say that the discount is
$7,055.
What is the interest rate on this loan? (Do not round
intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal
places, e.g., 32.16.)

INTEREST RATE = 7055/26945 = 26.18%
ANSWER : 26.18% (THUMBS UP PLEASE)

Judy explains that if you borrow $1,000 for three years...

For example, if a 1-year loan is stated as $50,000 and the interest rate is 7.50%, the borrower “pays” 0.0750 × $50,000 = $3,750 immediately, thereby receiving net funds of $46,250 and repaying $50,000 in a year. a. What is the effective interest rate on this loan? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the effective...
