Click here for Details A business needs a $240,000 loan for one year and has two options to decide between. Option 1 is a fixed rate loan for the entire amount, with a simple annual interest rate of 5%. Option 2 involves two loans: a fixed rate loan for $190,000, with a simple annual interest rate of 4%, and a second fixed rate loan for $50,000, with a simple annual interest rate of r%. Both options have otherwise identical terms and require payment in full of interest and principal at the end of the year.
In the first column, identify the interest rate r% at which the two options require the same total interest payment. In the second column, identify the interest rate r% at which the annual interest on the $190,000 loan in Option 2 would be exactly twice the annual interest on the $50,000 loan. Make only two selections, one in each column.Attachment:
