Gentlemen,

Can any one tell, how to calculate average loan period of a 5 year loan, say
a US$5 million loan, payable in quarterly instalments at rate of 5% p.a..
The first in stalment starts at the end of 1st quarter.

In the US, loan period would usually refer to the length of the loan, or
perhaps the time between periods.

In either case, you have already defined those in your statement.

Perhaps you mean something else?
