A local finance company quotes an interest rate of 16 percent on one-year loans. So, if you borrow $15,000, the interest for the year will be $2,400. Because you must repay a total of $17,400 in one year, the finance company requires you to pay $17,400/12, or $1,450.00, per month over the next 12 months.
