Answer:

The APR for the loan 15.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The annual percentage can be calculated by using the formula:

[tex]APR = \dfrac{2 \ Nr}{N +1}[/tex]

where;

N = number of payments = 3 years = 12 × 3 = 36 months

r = add-on interest rate = 8% = 0.08

Replacing our value to calculate the APR, we get:

[tex]APR = \dfrac{2 \times 36 \times 0.08}{36 +1}[/tex]

[tex]APR = \dfrac{5.76}{37}[/tex]

APR = 0.155675

APR ≅ 15.6%
