Some lenders charge an up-front fee on a loan, which is subtracted from what the borrower receives. This is typically described as "points" (where one point equals 1% of the loan amount). The federal government requires that this be accounted for in the APR that discloses the loan's cost. A 5-year auto loan for $18,000 has monthly payments at a 9% nominal annual rate. If the borrower must pay a loan origination fee of 2 points, what is the true effective cost of the loan? What would the APR be? If the car is sold after 2 years and the loan is paid off, what is the effective interest rate and the APR? Graph the effective interest rate as the time to sell the car and pay off loan varies from 1 to 5 years
