The SKC Corporation plans to borrow $1,000 for a 90-day period. At maturity the firm will repay the $1,000 principal amount plus $50 interest. The effective annual rate of interest for the loan can be estimated using the APR equation, as follows:
***Please solve this with clear steps***
360 days in a year is considered.
Effective Annual Rate = ((1+APR/n)^n) - 1
APR = (Interest / Principal) * (360 / no of days)
= (50 / 1000) * (360 / 90)
= 20%
Effective Annual Rate = (1+APR/n)^n
n = 360 / 90 = 4
= ((1+0.20/4)^4 ) - 1
= ((1.05)^4) - 1
= 1.21550625 -1
= 21.55%
