    a. 8.24%

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the effective annual rate of the loan is shown below:

    = (1 + nominal interest rate : periods) ^ number of period - 1

    = (1 + 8% : 4) ^4 - 1

    = (1 + 2%) ^4 - 1

    = 1.02^4 - 1

    = 8.24%

    As the interest rate is made on a quarterly basis and we know that there are four quarters in a year and we take the same in the computation part
