Given:
Future value, F=60508.29
Monthly payment, A = 165
Compounding period = month
Number of periods, n = 12*12=144
interest per period = i [ to be found ]
We have the relationship
F=A((1+i)^n-1)/i
but there is no explicit formula for i for given F, A and n.
We need to solve a non-linear equation for the value of i, the monthly interest rate.
One of the ways is to solve it by fixed iteration, i.e.
1. using the given relation, express i in terms of other parameters.
2. select an initial value of i
3. evaluate i according the equation in step 1 until the value is stable.
Here we will use the relationship to express
i=((60508.29*i)/165+1)^(1/144)-1 [ notice that i is on both sides of = sign ]
using an initial value of i=0.01 (about 1% per month).
Successively, we get
i=((60508.29*0.01)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.01075571
i=((60508.29*0.01075571)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.011160681, similarly
i=0.0113685
i=0.0114728
i=0.0115246
i=0.0115502
i=0.0115628
i=0.0115690
i=0.0115720
Assuming the above has stablilized, and the APR is 12 time the above value, namely
Annual percentage rate = 0.01157205998210142*12=0.13886=13.89%

The method of identifying the advantages and disadvantages of various options by looking at the incremental impact on total revenue and total cost caused by a very modest change in the value or input of each alternative (just one unit). Instead of making decisions based on totals or averages, marginal analysis encourages those that focus on small or gradual changes to resources. Examining the costs and possible gains of particular business operations or financial choices is known as marginal analysis. The objective is to ascertain whether the benefits from the change in activity will be great enough to outweigh the costs.

<span>A sales message or pitch with a little variation is a Canned Sales Presentation. The answer is Canned Sales Presentation because a sales message or pitch that has little variation means it has been well rehearsed, it is well organized and systemic in nature. Also Canned Sales Presentations are usually well written scripts that are meant to be adhered to and written to obtain a positive response from the prospect or customer.</span>
