Given:

loan amount : 90,000

annual interest rate: 9%

title background check: 350

title insurance: 400

deeds and atty fees: 250

total interest for the 1st year: 8,690.40

APR = finance charge for one year / amount financed

finance charge = interest plus fees

finance charge = 8,690.40 + 350 + 400 + 250 = 9,690.40

APR = 9,690.40 / 90,000

APR = 0.10767

0.10767 x 100% = 10.76 or 10.77% APR for the year.
