Answer

$ 6.184\%$

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$, \quad r=0.06,$ $r_{e}=e^{0.06}-1\approx 0.0618365$ $ r_{e}\approx 6.184\%$
