Answer:

the stated interest rate on the note is 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the stated rate of interest on the note is shown below:

= Interest ÷ Principal amount

= $600 ÷ $10,000

= 0.06

Since it is of six months but we have to determine annually

So we should multiplied it by 2

Like this

= 0.06 × 2

= 12%

hence, the stated interest rate on the note is 12%
