Respuesta :

Answer:

R = 25.63%

so correct option is B. 25.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

APR first 60 days = 0%

APR afterwards = 27.32% = 0.2732

to find out

effective interest rate

solution

we know equation of rate is

R = [tex](1+\frac{r}{365} )^D - 1[/tex]     .......................1

here R is the apr and we know 0 for the first 60 days and 0.2319 for remaining (365 -60 ) =  305 days

so put here value we get

R = [tex](1+\frac{0}{365} )^{60} - 1[/tex]  + [tex](1+\frac{0.2732}{365} )^{305} - 1[/tex]

R = 0 + [tex](1+\frac{0.2732}{365} )^{305} - 1[/tex]  

R = 0.256342

effective interest rate = 25.63%

so correct option is B. 25.63%

Answer:

B.
