Respuesta :

Answer:

The effective annual rate ​(EAR​) of the paper to​ Magna is 5.47%

Explanation:

interest rate = [1000000 - 973710]/[973710]

                     = 2.7%

EAR = (1 + interest rate)^2 - 1

       = (1 + 2.7%)^2 - 1

       = 5.47%

Therefore, The effective annual rate ​(EAR​) of the paper to​ Magna is 5.47%
