Businesses typically state interest cost as a percentage of the amount borrowed per unit of time. Examples are 12 percent per year and 1 percent per month.
A stated interest rate is the rate that is available when you are applying. An effective interest rate is the rate that has been applied to the loan. The true cost of borrowing is the effective interest rate.
Yes, the price at which bonds sell are determined by the interaction of stated rates of interest and market rates of interest.
Nominal interest rate is also defined as a stated interest rate. This interest works according to the simple interest and does not take into account the compounding periods. Effective interest rate is the one which caters the compounding periods during a payment plan. It is used to compare the annual interest between loans with different compounding periods like week, month, year etc. In general stated or nominal interest rate is less than the effective one. And the later depicts the true picture of financial payments.
No interest should only be charged if you are in a mortgage.
The stated interest rate is exactly that. If you are approved for a loan of $XXXXXX.XX at 12%, then 12% is the stated interest rate. The effective rate is the stated rate divided by how many times it will be compounded over the year, so a simple way to explain is if the interest on your loan for $XXXXXX.XX at 12% is compounded quarterly (every 3 months), then your effective interest rate would be 4%. This might not be entirely accurate, but I am almost positive that it is. I am taking an Accounting final tomorrow where this stuff is a major portion of the test, and have been going over it for quite some time now. Hope this helps!
To find the amount of interest using the total cost, you first need to determine the principal amount and the total cost incurred. The total cost typically includes both the principal and the interest. You can calculate the interest by subtracting the principal from the total cost: Interest = Total Cost - Principal. This will give you the amount of interest charged over the specified period.
