Answer:
c. 10.38%
Explanation:
Loan Amount = $10,000
Quarterly Interest payment = $250
Interest Payment for the year = $250 x 4
Interest Payment for the year = $1,000
Nominal interest rate = ($1,000 / $10,000) x 100 = 10%
Nominal interest rate = r = 10%
Number of periods = m = 4
Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + r/m )^m]-1
Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + 0.1/4 )^4] -
Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + 0.025 )^4] -1
Effective Interest rate = 10.38%
