9.6.6. The pawn shop business model. On April 9, 2011 The New York Times reported on a pawn shop that opened in an ex-Blockbuster store: The borrowers are given 60 days to pay back the loan, and La Familia charges a 20 percent interest rate per month. (So for a $100 loan, the borrower would need to pay back $140 after 60 days.) a. Explain why 20% interest per month on a $100 loan for two months would actually require repayment of a little more than $140. b. What is the annual interest rate when this business lends money?
