Suppose that

$6500 is invested in a 5-year CD with an APY of 2.6%. Recall that this means the money must be left with the bank for 5 years, and they will guarantee an annual rate of return of 2.6%

What is corresponding APR?

A town wants to build a park for $600,000 and issues 600 bonds for $1000 each, with a term of 7years and a coupon rate of 6%. Consider the purchase of one such bond.(a)What is the total return of this investment?(b)What is the average rate of return?
