Question

A bank loans money at an annual rate of 20 percent. Interest is compounded daily. What is the actual rate the bank is charging?

Answer 1

22.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

The effective annual rate formula below can be used to determine the actual rate charged by the bank as follows:

Effective annual rate=(1+APR/n)^n-1

APR=20%

n=number of times interest is computed yearly=365

Effective annual rate=(1+20%/365)^365-1

Effective annual rate=1.221335858 -1

Effective annual rate=22.13%

The actual rate of interest on bank loan is 22.13%
