    The effective rate on the loan is 13/18% or 0.722%

    Explanation:

    36 monthly payments of $700 will give = 700*36=$25200

    Amount = $25200

    Principal = $20000

    Interest = amount - principal

    Interest = 25200 - 20000

    =$5200

    Rate = (100 * interest) / principal*time

    = (100*5200) / (20,000*36)

    =13/18 %

    = 0.722%

    The effective annual rate on the loan is 0.722%
