Solution
In the flat rate system, interest is calculated on the full original loan amount for the entire duration, regardless of monthly payments made.
Given:
- Loan Amount (Principal) = ₹ 150,000
- Annual Interest Rate = 16%
- Time Period = 5 years
Total Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Total Interest = ₹ 150,000 × 16% × 5
Total Interest = ₹ 150,000 × 0.16 × 5
Total Interest = ₹ 150,000 × 0.80
Total Interest = ₹ 120,000
Total Amount = Principal + Total Interest
Total Amount = ₹ 150,000 + ₹ 120,000
Total Amount = ₹ 270,000
This ₹ 270,000 is the total amount to be paid back over 5 years.
Number of months = 5 years × 12 months/year
Number of months = 60 months
EMI = Total Amount ÷ Number of Months
EMI = ₹ 270,000 ÷ 60
EMI = ₹ 4,500
Therefore, the monthly EMI under flat rate system is ₹ 4,500.
