section 4 shall be calculated as follows:

assume a mortgage with a face value of $20,000 at an interest rate of 10% for a 5 year term

the interest charge per year is $2,000

assume a bonus of $200

divide the bonus by 5 = $40

the average annual cost is $2,040

the maximum annual effective rate of interest is:

the average annual cost x 100

the actual proceeds of the mortgage = the maximum annual

effective rate of interest

or $2,040 x 100

$19,800

= 10.3%
