Answer:
a. 1.27%
b. 15.24%
c. 16.35%
Explanation:
a. What is the monthly return on this investment vehicle?
The formula for the value of a Perpetuity is;
Value = Payment/ rate
Rate = Payment/ Value
Rate = 1,450/114,000
= 0.0127
= 1.27%
b. What is the APR?
APR is the annual rate. The above figure is the monthly rate.
APR = Monthly rate * 12
= 1.27 * 12
= 15.24%
c. What is the effective annual return?
Effective annual return = [1 + (APR/n)]^n – 1
n is the number of compounding periods which is 12 here for monthly compounding.
= [1 + (15.24%/12)]^12– 1
= 16.35%
