    Answer: 15.89%

    Explanation:

    Since no discounts were taken, this company made your job a whole lot easier because if we are for instance assuming a 365 day year then you simply take the base period of payments which is 58 days in this scenario and divide by 365.

    So it would come out like,

    = 58/365

    = 15.89%

    If you need any clarification just drop a comment. Cheers.
