Answer:

APR 13%

effective rate 13.64%

Explanation:

we know that the rate compounding weekly generates:

[tex]3(1+r) = 4[/tex]

we solve for rate:

r = 4/3 - 1 = 0.25

this will e the rate compounding weekly.

There is 52 weeks per year so APR = 52 x 0.25 = 13%

while the effective rate will be:

[tex](1 + \frac{0.13}{52})^{52} = 1 + r_e[/tex]

effective rate 0.13864
