After Brittney graduates from college, he wants to reward herself by purchasing a new car for $6081. Since Brittney has no money, she plans to take a bank loan. The bank agrees to give him 24 months’ loan with 9.92 percent annual interest rate compounded semiannually. What is the effective annual rate on this loan?
Select one:
a. 10.17 percent
b. 10.30 percent
c. 10.38 percent
d. 10.41 percent
Effective rate = (1+Semi annual rate)^Periods - 1
Effective rate = (1+(9.92%/2))^2 - 1
Effective rate = (1+4.045%)^2 - 1
Effective rate = 1.1017 - 1
Effective rate = 10.17 or 10.17%
