    B. 9.50%.

    C. 9.28%.

    D. 9.49%.

    Effective interest rate on the loan taken by Hiker Shoes is 9.57%, option A

    =$6000

    effective interest=interest/actual cash received*12/8

    actual received by Hiker shoes=$100,000-$6000

    =$94000

    effective interest=$6000/$94000*12/8

    effective interest=9.57%

    Even though the discount rate stated on the note is 9%, but the actual interest cost incurred by Hiker Shoes is in the region of 9.57%
