Answer:

APR would be 0.071.

Explanation:

Given formula,


\text{APR}=\frac{\text{Finance Charge}}{\text{Amount financed}}

Here,

Paid fees for a year = $ 1,000,

Total interest for the year = $ 4,900,

⇒ Finance charge = $ 1,000 + $ 4,900 = $ 5,900,

Also, the financed amount of the loan = $ 83,098.59,

Hence, the APR charged for the year


=(5900)/(83098.59)


=0.0710000013237


\approx 0.071
