    The correct answer is option (E).

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    Yield rate = 4.8%

    Tax rate = 27%

    So, we can use the following formula to calculate the interest rate:

    = Yield rate / (1 - tax rate)

    = 4.8% / (1 - 27%)

    = 0.048 / (1 - 0.27)

    = 0.048 / 0.73

    = 0.06575

    = 6.58%
