Engineering Economy – Problem 1.12

ByEngineeringCheatSheet.com

A new engineering graduate who started a consulting business borrowed money for 1 year to furnish
the office. The amount of the loan was $23,800, and it had an interest rate of 10% per year. However, because the new graduate had not built up a credit history, the bank made him buy loan-default
insurance that cost 5% of the loan amount. In addition, the bank charged a loan setup fee of $300.
What was the effective interest rate the engineer paid for the loan?
