    Explanation:

    Bob's annual payment is $1,168.37 (using a financial calculator)

    Barbara's annual interest payment = $1,168.37 - annuity that will have a future value of $10,000 in 12 years

    future value of annuity = payment x [ (1 + r) ⁿ - 1] / r

    r = 4% future value = $10,000 n = 12

    $10,000 = payment x [ (1 + 0.04) ¹² - 1] / 0.04

    $10,000 = payment x 15.0258

    payment = $10,000 / 15.0258

    payment = $665.52

    Barbara's annual interest payment = $1,168.37 - $665.52 = $502.85

    Barbara's effective interest rate i = $502.85 / $10,000 = 5.0285%
