Answer:

B. 10%

Explanation:

The computation of the effective annual interest rate is shown below:-

Effective annual interest rate = Lease payment third effective interest ÷ Lease payment second balance × 100

= $2,126 ÷ $21,260 × 100

= 10%

Therefore for computing the effective annual interest rate we simply applied the above formula.

Hence the correct option is B.
