    The answer is: E) None of the above

    Explanation:

    Using an excel spreadsheet and the RATE function, we can calculate the monthly interest rate of renting the TV:

    =RATE (36,-60,1000)

    = 4.94% monthly interest rate

    Then we multiply the monthly interest rate by twelve to get the APR:

    APR = 4.94% x 12 = 59.3%
