Answer:

7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the annual effective interest rate on the bonds

Using this formula

Annual Stated interest = Annual cash interest / Face vale of bonds*100

Let plug in the formula

Annual Stated interest =($7000+$7000) / 200000*100

Annual Stated interest=$14,000/20,000

Annual Stated interest=7%

Therefore the annual effective interest rate on the bonds is 7%
