A local finance company quotes an interest rate of 19.9 percent on one-year loans. So, if you borrow $48,000, the interest for the year will be $9,552. Because you must repay a total of $57,552 in one year, the finance company requires you to pay $57,552/12, or $4,796.00 per month over the next 12 months.
