    Rate = 2.5%

    Explanation:

    Simple interest I = Principal (P) * Rate (R) * Time (T) / 100

    Since these are equal installments half of the loan will be repaid in the first ten years. Half on one thousand is $500. We have amount = principal + interest

    500 = 400 + I

    I = 500-400 = $100

    Simple interest I = Principal (P) * Rate (R) * Time (T) / 100

    100 = 400 * 10 * R/100

    100 = 40 R

    R = 100/40 = 2.5%
