Answer: The annual interest rate r= 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The invested amount = $500,000.
The annual interest = $40,000
The annual interest rate is given by :-
[tex]r=\frac{\text{interest}}{\text{invested amount}}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\frac{40,000}{500,000}\times100\\\Rightarrow\ r=\frac{4}{50}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=8\%[/tex]
Hence, the annual interest rate r= 8%
