01 March 2013in a deal of tv with selling price of 50000, a customer can purchase it for cash down payment of 10000.
and balance in 12 monthly installments of 3800
calculate flat rate and effective rate..
soln..( as per me)
selling price 50000
cash down payment 10000
balance in 12 monthly installments of 3800
Amt = 12* 380 = 45600
i.e interst 5600
flat rate 5600/40000 = 14%( this soln is correct)

interest comes to approx 1.17% p.m.
(50000-10000)/12= 3333 p.m.
3800-3333= 467(Interest)
467/40000*100= 1.16%

3800 * 12 = 45600

interest rate per annum is coming to 14%(5600/40000*100). so mnthly int is coming to 1.17% as calculated by above.
What is the problem that you are facing in calculating the effective int rate.

it is 25.85%
I tried hit and trial method
40000/12 = 3333.333
I calculated interest for evey month like for first month i used 12 month interest
for next payment i used 11 month interest
so on
total interest must be 5600 i.e. 45600-40000
so 25.85% came
