A bank requiring a higher interest rate on an automobile loan than on a home mortgage loan is demonstrating the core principle that says:

1. "Time has value."

 

2. "Markets determine prices and allocate resources."

 

3. "Risk requires compensation."

 

4. "Information is the basis for decisions."

3. Risk requires compensation.

Life of Home and Automobile defers. Thus value of underlying asset varies at different pace.

Rate of interest is summation of inflation adjusted cost plus risk premium.

Liquidity of secondary loan market is another but less significant factor affecting it

Thus, rate for automobile finance is higher than housing finance

3. Risks require Compensation.

 Since the home loans offer a greater security, the rate of interest happens to be lower. IN automobiles, the security is lower and administrative costs in case of default happen to be more. Hence, banks normally prescribe higher rate of Interest on Automobile loans than on HOme Loans.
