Great lakes loans interest rate
Example of interest rate and loan.
Multiply each loan amount by its interest rate to obtain the "per loan weight factor."
Loan 1: $10,000 x 6.8% = 680
Loan 2: $2,000 x 3.8% = 76
Add the per loan weight factors together.
680 + 76 = 756
Add the loan amounts together.
$10,000 + $2,000 = $12,000
Divide the "total per loan weight factor" by the "total loan amount," and then multiply by 100 to calculate the weighted average.
(756 / 12,000) x 100
or 0.063 x 100 = 6.3%
