Solution

The effective rate of interest can be calculated using the formula for compound interest:

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where: A = the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. P = principal amount (the initial amount of money) r = annual nominal interest rate (decimal) n = number of times that interest is compounded per year t = time the money is invested for in years

Given: P = 1 (it doesn't matter what value we use for P because we're looking for the ratio A/P) r = 9.9% = 0.099 (converted to decimal) n = 12 (since interest is compounded monthly) t = 1 (since we're looking for the annual rate)

We can plug these values into the formula to find A:

A = 1 * (1 + 0.099/12)^(12*1) A = (1 + 0.00825)^12 A = 1.1036 (as given in the question)

The effective rate of interest is then (A - 1) * 100% = 10.36%

So, the answer is (a) 10.36%.
