r = nominal interest rate
i = effective interest rate
m = compounding period
r = m × [ ( 1 + i)1/m - 1 ]
i = 15%
a) m = 12
r = 12*[(1+ 0.15)1/12 - 1] = 0.140579 = 14.058%
b) m = 365
r = 365*[(1+0.15)1/365 -1 ] = 0.13978 = 13.98%
c) for continuous compounding, formula is
i = er -1
0.15 = er - 1
1.15 =er
ln 1.15 = r
0.13976 = r
r = 13.98%
