Please find below scenarios and configurations for understanding floating rates better:-

In the term section - Selected Floating rate is Base lending rate

July 2,2015 - 13% = [10(Base interest rate) +2(Loan product level) +1(Loan account level)]
Aug 2,2015 - 14% = [11(Base interest rate) +2(Loan product level) +1(Loan account level)]
Sep 2,2015 - 15% = [12(Base interest rate) +2(Loan product level) +1(Loan account level)]
