1. Using Excel's IRR function, what is the effective rate on this bond issue? Round the answer to 2 decimal places (answer in format "xx.xx%").
2. Set up an amortization table using the effective interest method. For your amortization table, USE THE ROUNDED OFF VALUE FROM YOUR ANSWER TO QUESTION #1!!!!!!
If you use anything OTHER THAN the rate from question 1, the answers will be "wrong" compared to the answer key!!!!
DON'T use the cell reference where the answer to the IRR function is. Even if you format the cell to only 2 decimal places, Excel's memory will use the unrounded #!!!
