Blenman corporation, based in the united states, arranged a 2-year, $1,000,000 loan to fund a project in mexico. the loan is denominated in mexican pesos, carries a 6.5% nominal rate, and requires equal semiannual payments. the exchange rate at the time of the loan was 5.75 pesos per dollar, but it dropped to 5.10 pesos per dollar before the first payment came due. the loan was not hedged in the foreign exchange market. thus, blenman must convert u. s. funds to mexican pesos to make its payments. if the exchange rate remains at 5.10 pesos per dollar through the end of the loan period, what effective annual interest rate will blenman end up paying on the loan? do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to two decimal places.

overall, demarco and tanya would save $80,811 if they chose balloon payments over fixed payments, and would save $116,711 if they choose balloon payments over adjustable payments. benefits with choosing fixed payments over adjustable payments is that, in the end, the payments will still be $836.30 a month, while with adjustable payments, the initial monthly payments will be $763.38 to $1082.70 a month, ultimately leading to a more costly purchase. benefits with choosing fixed payments over balloon payments are not present. benefits in choosing adjustable payments over is that it has a lower interest rate, and starts with lower monthly payments initially. benefits in choosing adjustable payments over balloon payments include a lower interest rate, and lower initial monthly payments. benefits in choosing balloon payments over fixed payments include lower interest rates, lower overall price, lower monthly payments, takes less time to pay off, and does not require a downpayment. benefits in choosing balloon payments over adjustable payments include, lower monthly payments (when averaged), takes less time to pay off, and lower overall price.
