Answer:

15.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Given that

Discount Rate = 1%

Discount Period = 10 days

Credit Period = 35 days

Now based on the above information

The Effective Annual Rate is

= [1 + Discount Rate ÷ (1 - Discount Rate)]^[365 ÷ (Credit Period - Discount Period)] - 1

= [1 + 0.01 ÷ (1 - 0.01)]^[365 ÷ (35 - 10)] - 1

= [1 + 0.01 ÷ 0.99]^[365 ÷ 25] - 1

= 15.8%
