4.1 Ratings (495 Votes)

Information provided:

Monthly payment= $500

Present value of the perpetuity= $25,000

Present value of the perpetuity payment= annual payment/ Interest rate

$25,000= $500/ Interest rate

Interest rate= $500/ $25,000

= 0.02*100

= 2% per month

Annual interest rate= 2%*12= 24%

Effective annual rate 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 + 0.24/12)^12 – 1

= 1.2682 -1

= 0.2682*100

= 26.82%

Therefore, the Effective annual rate on the investment is 26.8%.
