    The nominal annual interest rate is 15%.

    The effective interest rate is 16.08%.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    $9,375 = $325 (P/A, i%, 36) (P/A, i%, 36)

    = $9,375/$325 = 28.846

    From compound interest tables, i = 1.25%

    Nominal Interest Rate = 1.25 x 12 = 15%

    Effective rate = (1 + (0.15/36)) ^36-1=1.004^36-1 = 16.08%
