Answer:
a. 8.24%
Explanation:
The formula to compute the effective annual rate of the loan is shown below:
= (1 + nominal interest rate ÷ periods)^ number of period - 1
= (1 + 8% ÷ 4)^4 - 1
= (1 + 2%)^4 - 1
= 1.02^4 - 1
= 8.24%
As the interest rate is made on a quarterly basis and we know that there are four quarters in a year and we take the same in the computation part
