A local finance company quotes an interest rate of 17 percent on one-year loans. So, if you borrow $28,000, the interest for the year will be $4,760. Because you must repay a total of $32,760 in one year, the finance company requires you to pay $32,760 / 12, or $2,730.00, per month over the next 12 months.
