    i = 5.48%

    Explanation:

    We can use the following method to solve the given problem in the question.

    Two consecutive 3 year CDs:

    =10000 * (1 + (0.05/4)) ^12 * (1+. (0.05/4)) ^12 = 13, 473.51

    One 5 year CD and a 1 year CD:

    =10000 * (1 + (0.0565/4)) ^20 * (1+. (0.04/4)) ^4 = 13,775.75

    13,775.75 is the greater.

    The annual effective rate is

    =10000 * (1+I) ^6 = 13,775.75

    i = 5.48%

    5.48%

    Explanation:

    Effective interest rate is the actual interest rate that a investor receives on investment or a borrower pays on loan including the compounding effect.

    Here we have two possibilities

    Two consecutive 3 year CDs:

    Future value = 10,000 x (1 + (5%/4)) ^12 x (1 + (5%/4)) ^12 = $13, 473.51

    One 5 year CD and a 1 year CD:

    Future value = 10,000 x (1 + (5.65%/4)) ^20 x (1 + (4%/4)) ^4 = $13,775.75

    As $13,775.75 is the greater the investor will prefer this combination.

    Now calculate the Effective interest rate

    $10,000 x (1 + i) ^6 = 13,775.75

    i = 5.48%
