Based on the calculations, the interest rate on the stock in four (4) years is equal to 7.1%.

Given the following data:

Amount borrowed (Principal) = $22,000.

Simple interest, I = $78.40.

Time = 4 year.

To determine the interest rate on the stock in four (4) years:

How to calculate simple interest?

Mathematically, simple interest can be calculated by using this formula:

I = PRT

Where:

  • S.I is the simple interest.
  • P is the principal or starting amount.
  • R is the interest rate.
  • T is the time measured in years.

Making R the subject of formula, we have:

R = I/PT

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

R = 6260/(22,000 × 4)

R = 6260/(88,000)

Interest rate = 0.071 = 7.1%.
