TheRule of 78sis a commonly used method of com-puting the amount of interest when the balance of aloan is repaid in advance.Adding the numbers representing12 months gives1+2+3+4+5++11+12=78If a 12-month loan is repaid at the endof one month, for example, the interestthe borrower would be charged is 12/78of the years interest. If the loan is repaidat the end of 2 months, the total interestcharged would be(12+11)/78, or 23/78of the years interest. After 11 months theinterestcharge would therefore be 77/78ofthe total years interest.Helen borrowed $10,000 on January 1 at 9% annualinterest, compounded monthly.
