You are considering a car loan with a stated APR of 6.64% based on monthly compounding. What is the effective annual rate of this loan?
The effective annual rate is ___%.
Effective Annual Rate
Effective annual rate is the rate of interest an investor earns in a year after accounting for the effects of compounding.
It is calculated using the below formula:
EAR= (1+r/n)^n-1
Where r is the interest rate and n is the number of compounding periods in one year.
EAR= (1+0.0664/12)^12-1
= 1.-1
= 0.0685*100= 6.8459% 6.85%.
Therefore, the effective annual rate is 6.85%.
