Answer #1

Solution:

  1. Monthly return on this investment vehicle is calculated by using PV of a perpetuity equation.

                PV = C/r

PV = $332,000 ; C = $2,400

$332,000 = $2,400 / r

.r = $2,400 / $332,000

.r = 0.0072289 or 0.72%

2. Calculating APR

To calculate APR we multiply the interest rate by number of months in a year.

APR = 12 x 0.72%

        = 8.64%

3. EAR = [1 + (APR/m)]m - 1

        = [1 + ( 0.0864 / 12 )12 – 1

        = [1 + (0.0072) 12 – 1

        = 1.0899 – 1

        = 0.0899 or 8.99%
