Effective Rate Find the effective rate of interest corresponding to a nominal rate of 6% par year compounded (a) annually, (b) semiannually, (c) quarterly, and (d) monthly.

Respuesta :

Answer:

compounded (a) annually  = 6 %

compounded  (b) semiannually =  6.09 %

compounded  (c) quarterly = 6.14 %

compounded  (d) monthly = 6.17 %

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

nominal rate = 6% par year = 0.06

solution

we know effective rate of interest is express as

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{r}{n})^n[/tex] - 1   .................1

here r is rate and n is no of compound period

so for compounded annually  put here value n = 1

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{r}{n})^n[/tex] - 1

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{0.06}{1})^1[/tex] - 1

effective rate of interest  =  0.06 = 6 %

and

now we get compounded semiannually  put here value n = 2

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{r}{n})^n[/tex] - 1

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{0.06}{2})^2[/tex] - 1

effective rate of interest  = 0.0609 = 6.09 %

and

now we get compounded quarterly  put here value n = 4

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{r}{n})^n[/tex] - 1

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{0.06}{4})^4[/tex] - 1

effective rate of interest  = 0.061364 = 6.14 %

and

now we get compounded monthly put here value n = 12

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{r}{n})^n[/tex] - 1

effective rate of interest  = [tex](1+\frac{0.06}{12})^{12}[/tex] - 1

effective rate of interest  =  0.061678 = 6.17 %
