    L4 = 0.504%

    Explanation:

    1 + 1R4 = { (1 + 1R3) (1 + E (4r1) + L4) }1/4

    1.0500 = { (1.0475) ^3 (1 + 0.0525 + L4) }1/4

    (1.0500) ^4 = (1.0475) 3^ (1 + 0.0525 + L4)

    (1.0500) ^4 / (1.0475) ^3 = 1 + 0.0525 + L4

    (1.0500) 4 / (1.0475) ^3-1.0525

    L4=.0050358564 = 0.504%
