What is the nominal annual rate of interest compounded monthly on a lease valued at $23,700.00, if payments of $6200.00 are made at the beginning of every six months for 2 years?
The nominal annual rate of interest is ____%.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
NPER = 2*2 = 4
Payment = 6200
Present Value = 23700
Present Value = Payment + Payment/(1+semi-annual rate)^1 + Payment/(1+semi-annual rate)^2 + Payment/(1+semi-annual rate)^3
23700 = 6200 +6200/(1+semi-annual rate)^1 +6200/(1+semi-annual rate)^2 +6200/(1+semi-annual rate)^3
We will use the heat and trial method to get that value for which the above equation satisfies.
Semi-annual Rate = 3.11%
Annual Rate = 6.22% Answer
