    Answer: 2.5186 percent

    Explanation:

    First you have to understand that the payment includes Payment Interst plus Debt Payment and that the Payment Balance is the Loan Amount minus the Debt Payment; with this information you calculate the Loan Amount that is 260,500.00 and calculate the rate per month (use the interest debt / Loan Amount) which results in 0.2075 percent (TEM). To calculate the annual interest rate you use the formula to convert to TEA which is ((1+TEM) ^12) - 1).
