The effective annual rate of interest on the additional $25,000 borrowed on the first loan is 12.95%

Explanation:

the loan amount is $250,000 and the period is 20 years.

1.

down payment of $50,000 and the interest rate is 6% per annum

the loan amount = $250,000 - $50,000

                            = $200,000

period = 20*12

           = 240 months

rate = 5%/12

       = 0.4167% per month

monthly payment = $1,319.91

difference between the payments in 1 and in 2 = 1611.97 - 1319.91

                                                                               = $292.06

additional down payment is $25,000

2.

down payment of $25,000 and the interest rate is 6% per annum

the loan amount = $250,000 - $25,000

                            = $225,000

period = 20*12

           = 240 months

rate = 6%/12

       = 0.5% per month

monthly payment = $1,611.97

difference between the payments in 1 and in 2 = 1611.97 - 1319.91

                                                                               = $292.06

additional down payment is $25,000

the effective annual rate = [(292.06/25000)*12]*100

                                         = 12.95%

Therefore, The effective annual rate of interest on the additional $25,000 borrowed on the first loan is 12.95%
