The effective interest rate charged on this loan is approximately 4.68%.
To find the nominal interest rate charged on the lease, we can use the present value formula for an ordinary annuity:
PV = PMT * [1 - (1 + r)^(-n)] / r,
where PV is the present value, PMT is the periodic payment, r is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods.
Given that the present value (PV) is $13,300, the quarterly payment (PMT) is $650, and the lease is for 6 years (24 quarters), we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the interest rate (r).
13,300 = 650 * [1 - (1 + r)^(-24)] / r.
This equation cannot be solved algebraically, but we can use numerical methods or financial calculators to find the value of r. In this case, using a financial calculator or solver, we find that the interest rate (r) is approximately 1.63%.
Therefore, the nominal interest rate compounded quarterly charged on the lease is approximately 1.63%.
For the second part of the question, to find the effective interest rate charged on the loan with quarterly payments of $1,440 for 9 years (36 quarters) to settle a loan of $36,640, we can use the formula for the effective interest rate:
Effective interest rate = (1 + r/n)^n - 1,
where r is the nominal interest rate and n is the number of compounding periods.
Given that the nominal quarterly payment is $1,440, the loan amount is $36,640, and the loan term is 9 years (36 quarters), we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the effective interest rate.
Effective interest rate = (1 + 1440/36640)^36 - 1.
Using a calculator, we find that the effective interest rate is approximately 4.68%.
The effective interest rate charged on this loan is approximately 4.68%.
