Question
A student looking at a student loan of a size of $10,000, an interest rate of 9%, and a monthly payment of $127 makes the following observation:
The text states that the interest rate on the loan is 9%, but this calculation is obviously wrong. Each monthly payment is $127, so the student will be paying back $127×12 = $1, 524 per year. Therefore, because the principal of the loan is $10,000, the interest rate must be $1,524 = 0.1524, or 15.24%.
Briefly explain whether you agree with the student’s reasoning.
