    Answer: 8%

    Explanation:

    The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,

    APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.

    To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.

    Finance charge = 25 + 15

    = $40

    Back to the APR formula we will have,

    APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed

    APR = 40/500

    = 0.08

    APR is 8%.
