Evaluating Loan Regulation Policies

A government is considering two different policies to regulate one-year loans. Policy A would cap the total extra amount a borrower must repay at $150, regardless of the loan size. Policy B would cap the interest rate at 12%. Evaluate the effectiveness of each policy in protecting a borrower who takes out a small loan ($500) versus a borrower who takes out a large loan ($2,500). Which policy do you believe is more equitable across different loan sizes? Justify your answer using calculations.
