Solution

failed
failed

The answer is (A) True.

Explanation:

  • The Effective Annual Rate (EAR) accounts for compounding within the year, while the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) does not.
  • When interest is compounded more than once a year, the EAR will be greater than the APR because it reflects the impact of compounding.
  • Therefore, the statement that an effective annual rate must be greater than an annual percentage rate is true.
