Respuesta :

Answer: 11.88%

Explanation:

Hiker's effective interest rate on this loan will be calculated as:

Interest = Amount × Discount rate × 8/12

= 112000 × 11% × 8/12

= 112000 × 0.11 × 0.667

= 8217.44

= 8217 approximately

Effective interest rate will then be:

= (Interest / Amount - Interest) × 12/8

= 8217 /(112000 - 8217) × 3/2

= 8217/103783 × 1.5

= 0.0791748 × 1.5

= 0.1187622

= 11.88%
