Explanation / Answer

Notional Loan Amount = $250000; Compensating Balance = 20% or $ 50000; Net Loan Available = $200000

Interest Cost for 12 months = 250000 * 13.5% * 360 / 360 = $ 33750

Effective Rate = (33750/200000) = 16.88%

In case of Installment Loan, the formula for the Effective Rate is :

2 * Number of Installments * Annual Interest Cost / (number of installments + 1) * Net Loan

which comes to : [2 * 12 * 33750 ] / [ 13 * 200000] = 31.15%
