Explanation:
The actual rate being charge on these loans is the effective annual rate and the formula to calculate it is:
i=(1+(r/m))^m−1
i= effective annual rate
r= interest rate in decimal form=0.24
m=number of compounding periods per year= 52 (a year has 52 weeks).
i=(1+(0.24/52))^52-1
i=1.27-1
i=0.27
According to this, the answer is that the actual rate being charge on these loans is 27%.
