EAR is the Effective Annual Rate on loan. It is an amount charged on loan taken by the borrower. Since there are monthly payments made of $18,100 on this loan, it is the problem related to annuity. Annuity means any periodic payments are made at regular intervals, this is the case of present value of annuity.
STEP 1: The present value of annuity can be found by using the rate option in excel.
In excel we have the rate option as :
=Rate(nper,pmt,pv,fv,type)
where, Rate = Rate of interest
NPER = number of payment in a period
PMT = Periodic payment made
PV = Present Value
FV = Future Value
Type = 0 if it is at the end of the period and 1 if the payment starts at the beginning of the period.
STEP 2: Identify the variables given:
NPER = 30 × 12 = 360
PMT = $18,100
PV = $4,000,000 × 80% = $3,200,000
FV = 0
Type = 0 (When nothing is mentioned, it is assumed that the payments are made at the end of the month.
STEP 3: Insert the variables identify in the formula shown in STEP 1 in excel:
=rate(360,18100,-3200000)
=0.046%
STEP 4: The rate is 0.46% is the monthly rate, the Effective annual rate (EAR) on this loan will be:
[tex] EAR = (1+0.00046)^{360} - 1 [/tex]
[tex] EAR = (1.00046)^360 - 1 [/tex]
EAR = 1.177934813 - 1
EAR = 0.177934813 or 17.79%
Therefore, the effective annual rate (EAR) on the loan is 17.79%
