Q:

An automobile financier claims to be lending money at S.I., but he includes the interest every six months for calculating the principal. If he is charging an interest of 8%, the effective rate of interest becomes ?

A) 10.25 % B) 8.16 %
C) 9.63 % D) 0.16 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8.16 %

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then,
S.I. for first 6 months = (100 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4
S.I. for last 6 months = (104 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4.16
So, amount at the end of 1 year = (100 + 4 + 4.16) = Rs. 108.16
Effective rate = (108.16 - 100) = 8.16%.
