So ... is the APR: +6940%, +4.6 quadrillion %, -91.3%, or +/-12.9 trillion % or +/-3.7 quintillion % ?? I mean, what would need to be quoted by law for a loan of this type? "Ronald Raygun" wrote Well, since the lender would be unlikely to let the borrower close the account except at the originally agreed time, the last two are out (they are in any case AERs, not APRs). I don't think the law says (or indeed knows) anything about non-unique solutions to the equations they say the APR must satisfy. Accordingly, I'd assume they'd let the lender pick any one of the first three. ... Really? I had hoped that the legislation might be a bit more specific, so that the "rate to be disclosed" couldn't be ambiguous. Quite so. A little more digging made me come across the OFT leaflet http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/business_leaflets/consumer_credit/oft144.pdf which gives the statutory formula for calculating APR. Having given the actual formula, it then states the following: " Although it is uncommon, complex mathematical equations such as the APR calculation can sometimes have more than one correct answer (there could be more than one value of i at which the two sides of the statutory equation are equal). The Regulations set down the rules for dealing with this: if there is more than one positive result, or positive and negative results, the APR is the positive rate nearest to zero; if there is no positive result, the APR is the negative rate nearest to zero. " Good, eh? Sometimes they really do think of everything. I was surprised. |
