Answer : effective annual rate will be 7.46

Working Notes

Effective Annual Rate Formula

$i\,=\,\left(1+\frac{r}{m}\right)^{m}-1\$

Where r = R/100 and i = I/100; r and i are interest rates in decimal form. m is the number of compounding periods per year. The effective annual rate is the actual interest rate for a year.

i (1+7.2/360)360-1

=7.4648

=7.46
