    D. 25.80 percent

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the effective annual rate of the loan is shown below:

    = (1 + annual interest rate : periods) ^ number of period - 1

    = (1 + 23% : 52) ^52 - 1

    = (1 + 00442) ^52 - 1

    = 1.00442^52 - 1

    = 1.2579618615 - 1

    = 25.80%

    There are 52 weeks in a year and we considered the same in the above calculation
