    Exclamation Calculating APR

    I know the implied APR of this lease is 38.5%...

    The question I have is...I can finance this amount at an APR of 25% through the bank. They have a 2% fee (rolled into the amount) and it is compounded. I want to finance enough so that I have $150,000 to give to my vendor after the bank takes 2% of the financed amount).

    What is the annual rate I use for this loan (they want annual payments) when comparing it to the lease?

    Re: Calculating APR for Equipment Lease

    The annual rate is 18% on the amount owed assuming the bank gives you $105,000 to pay for the equipment up front; compounding rate depends on the bank's definition in the loan contract.

    I'm just wondering when they give the $105,000 loan, do they compound 18% right at the start of the first year or at the end? For example, in your first period are you paying 18% compounding interest on $105,000 or 18% compounding interest on what you owe at the end of the first year?

    This is the question? Have I missed something? Cheers.
