Answer #1

1. Effective Annual Rate = 10%
Effective rate continuously compounded = eln(1+r) - 1
ln(1.1) = 0.09531018
Montly rate = 0.09531018/12 = 0.07942515
e0.07942515 -1 = 0.00797414
Hence, monthly continuous rate = 0.797414%

2. Effective Quarterly rate = (1+(Rate per year/52))Number of weeks =(1+Rate per quarter)4,
(1+(0.15/52))208=(1+r)4,
r = 16.1583394% per quarter

Now, using the PMT function in excel,
=PMT(16.1583394%,16,-4100000)

7,28,839.57883

per quarter.
