2. The annual yield calculation assumes that:

a. the term of the note is renewed sequentially for an entire year,

b. the interest earned during each term is included in the principal amount for the next term,

c. the listed interest rate is the interest rate for each term, and

d. the accrued interest is paid annually. More frequent interest payments will reduce your annual yield.
