ACCOUNT LAST YEAR'S TAX See back for explanation of taxes marked with (* ) \:3, 348.75 \CURRENT TAX BY DISTRICT` U Lane Education Service Dist U Lane...

I had 3 payment options:

1. pay everything on 11/15/18 ($3,455.30)

2. pay in 2 payments: $2,327.28 on 11/15/18 and $1,187.39 on 5/15/19

3. pay in 3 payments: $1,187.39 on 11/15/18, 2/15/19 and 5/15/19

I had $10,000 in a bank account with an APR of 6%, compounded monthly. I was deciding between paying the entire property tax ($3,455.30) on 11/15/18 or going with option #3, the 3 equal payments.

Which should I choose? What's the APR that they're charging me on the loan? Assume monthly compounding. (please show steps)
