Calculate the equivalent interest rate $\left(r_{2}\right)$ of the following investment:
\[
\begin{array}{l}
r 1=8.25 \% \\
m_{1}=c a \\
r_{2}=? \\
m_{2}=\mathrm{cm}
\end{array}
\]

Answer

Final Answer: \(\boxed{r_{2} = 100*(a*m/c)^{1/n} - 100}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the initial interest rate (r1) as 8.25% and the initial investment amount (m1) as ca. The final investment amount (m2) is given as cm. We are asked to find the final interest rate (r2).

Step 2 :The formula to calculate the equivalent interest rate is: \(r_{2} = ((m_{2}/m_{1})^{1/n} - 1) * 100\)

Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \(r_{2} = ((cm/ca)^{1/n} - 1) * 100\)

Step 4 :Since we don't have the values of c, a, m, and n, we can't calculate a numerical value for r2. But we can express r2 in terms of these variables using the formula above.

Step 5 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{r_{2} = 100*(a*m/c)^{1/n} - 100}\)
