Answer to Question 1

A bank would rather advertise the annual percentage rate on loans since this rate appears to be lower and the effective annual rate. With respect to savings accounts, the bank would advertise the effective rate since this rate will be higher than the annual percentage rate (APR). As a consumer, the effective rate is the more important rate since it represents the rate actually paid or earned.

Answer to Question 2

A
