13. LAST WORD Assume that you borrow $5,000, and you pay
back the $5,000 plus $250 in interest at the end of the year.
Assuming no inflation, what is the real interest rate? What
would the interest rate be if the $250 of interest had been dis-
counted at the time the loan was made? What would the inter-
est rate be if you were required to repay the loan in 12 equal
monthly installments?
