Answer
$ 5.127\%$
Work Step by Step
Apply the Effective Rate of Interest Theorem:
The effective rate of interest $r_{e}$ of an investment earning an annual interest rate $r$ is given by
Compounding $n$ times per year: $\displaystyle \quad r_{e}=\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n}-1$
Continuous compounding: $\quad \quad r_{e}=e^{r}-1$
---
Continuous compounding$, \quad r=0.05,$
$r_{e}=e^{0.05}-1\approx 0.051271$
$ r_{e}\approx 5.127\%$
