Answer:
6.17%
Explanation:
The monthly rate of return on the loan is the monthly interest payment on the loan which is $50 divided by the principal amount borrowed.
The monthly rate of interest =$50/$10,000
The monthly rate of interest =0.50%
However, the effective annual rate is the rate of interest on the loan from an annual basis perspective using the formula below:
effective annual rate=(1+monthly interest rate)^n-1
monthly interest rate=0.50%
n=12(the number of monthly compounding in a year is 12)
effective annual rate=(1+0.50%)^12-1=6.17%
