Answer:
10.38%
Explanation:
The formula to compute the effective annual rate of the loan is shown below:
= (1 + nominal interest rate ÷ periods)^ number of period - 1
The nominal interest rate is shown below:
= $250 × 4 ÷ $10,000
= $1,000 ÷ $10,000
= 0.1
Now the effective annual rate is
= (1 + 0.1 ÷ 4)^4 - 1
= (1 + 0.025)^4 - 1
= 1.025^4 - 1
= 10.38%
Since the interest rate is measured on a quarterly basis, we know there are four quarters in a year and we do the same in the calculation part.
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
