Question 13 • [PERFIN] Personal Finance, Sem 2 (26-27)

How is the interest rate on a payday loan calculated?

Answer
A
loan amount divided by total fees
B
total fees divided by loan amount
C
total fees divided by days of loan
D
APR divided by 365

Explanation

Divide the total fees charged for the payday loan by the amount borrowed to find the rate for the loan term. For example, a $15 fee on a $100 loan is 15% of the amount borrowed. This is different from dividing fees by the number of days, which does not compare the cost with the loan amount.
