I feel like the answer should be higher than 1% since it's a decent amount of interest on that investment. Maybe D?

I think the effective yield is calculated by annualizing the interest, but I can't recall the exact steps.

No problem, I've got this. The key is to first find the simple annual interest rate, which is $800 / $30,000 = 0.0267 or 2.67%. Then I can convert that to an effective annual yield using the formula.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. We have an investment of $30,000 that matures in 180 days and pays $800 in interest. To find the effective annual yield, we need to calculate the annual interest rate and then convert it to an effective annual rate.

Hmm, let's see... I think the answer is D. 5.40% seems about right for an investment that pays $800 in interest on a $30,000 investment over 180 days.
