So you paid a 4% for a one month facility?
Adds up to 48% p.a. so I don't really see how this is better for Wanjiku..
@guru267...wewe ulisomea hesabu wapi?
Let us look at your fallacy...
In September 2016 @newfarer takes a loan of kshs 7500 and pays kshs 293.25 being interest totalling kshs 7500.00 in payment after one month..
in October 2016 he will take another loan of kshs 7206.75 and pay kshs 293.25 in interest again totaling kshs 7500.00 in payment after another month.
In November 2016 another one of kshs 7206.75 at kshs 293.25 as interest.
Assuming that @newfarer will be taking a loan on a monthly basis, after one year @newfarer will have borrowed kshs 7206.75 x 12 =
kshs 86,481.00 and the total interest will be kshs 293.25 x 12 =
kshs 3519.00 for the year.
therefore average interest rate for newfarer alone on money borrowed in one year will be (3519/86,481) x 100% =
4.069%Let me also remove that false reasoning that people are peddling here about mshwari loans at 7.5% per month interest adds to 90% per year...this is total rubbish!!! Why?
I borrow kshs 6000.00 at 7.5% interest or kshs 450.00 after one month.
In one year, I will have borrowed a total of kshs 6000.00 x 12 = 72,000.00 and the total interest will be kshs 450.00 x 12 = kshs 5400.00.
Average interest rate that has been charged on all the moneys borrowed within the year is (5400/72,000) x 100% =
7.5% for the year.
Actually in both the cases Wanjiku is benefitting immensely, only that KCB Mpesa is lower in interest.
So tafadhari wacheni kudanganyana....
...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...
