To the amount of the loan being financed, 6% is added for each year money is owed. This total is then divided by the number of months over which the payments are to be made, and the result is the amount of the monthly payments. For example, a woman purchases a $10,000 automobile under this plan and makes an initial cash payment of $2,500. She wishes to pay the $7,500 balance in 24 monthly payments: Find the IRR and Effective Annual Interest rate.
