Answer:

the annual percentage rate is 1040%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the nominal rate of interest is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

$60 = $50 × (1 + rate of interest)^1

1 + rate of interest = ($60 ÷ $50)

rate of interest is

= (1.2- 1 ) × 100

= 20%

Now the annual percentage rate is

= 20% × 52

= 1040%

hence, the annual percentage rate is 1040%
