A
  1. find the effective rate of the loan
  2. then find nominal rate of that same effective rate
  3. then divide by 12
51

A

divide the annual rate by 2 which gives two loans of same amoint

and then you find the effective rate corresponding to the two (so rate of the 2 combined)

ex: annual rate is 8%

effective rate will be 8.16%

reflect both the market and the project risk
