Question:

An advertisement for Ford trucks offered "2.9%" financing (for 48 months) or $4000 cash back." A truck buyer financed $40,000 at the low interest rate instead of paying $36,000 cash (after the $4000 rebate). What was the effective rate of interest on the loan if the forgone cash rebate is treated as part of the cost of financing? (The 2.9% interest rate is a monthly compounded nominal rate.)
