12%

   

13%

   

6.44%

   

9.13%

   

8.16%

   

10.68%

Expert Solution
Step 1

Loss on loan is 2% of $1,000,000 =$20,000

Total interest to be earned on gross loan = 6%*1,000,000 = $60,000

Hence, to adjust the interest and get an optimal interest, the amount should be = $20,000 + $60,000 = $80,000 on the net loan amount of $980,000 ($1,000,000-$20000).
