    Let R = rate, B = base and P = percentage

    Use R = P/B

    R = 0.02/750

    Assuming this is a simple discount note with a face value of $750, the interest that will be deducted is 2%*$750 = $15. Then the proceeds are $750 - 15 = $735, and the effective annual rate is

    ... 15 / (735 * (4/365)) ≈ 186.2%
