Southland, Inc. has just borrowed $50,000 to purchase a delivery truck. The contract calls for 4 annual payments of $15,773.54, beginning one year from today. The annual interest rate Southland is paying equals.
-----------------------
total payment = 4*15,773.54 = 63,094.16
----
total interest = 13,094.16
-----
Formula for simple interest:: I = Prt
13,094.16 = 50,000*r*4
----
r = 13094.16/200000 = 0.0655 = 6.55%
