Please help with the formula use to solve the following problem:
A company is considering borrowing $5000 for a 90 day period. The firm will repay the $5000 principle amount plus $150 in interest. What is the effective annual rate of interest? Use a 360-day year.
--------------------
Interest = Prt
150 = 5000*r*(90/360)
150 = 5000r*(1/4)
600 = 5000r
r = 0.12 = 12%
