Calculating Effective Annual Rate(EAR) for each of the option to determine the greatest annual return:-
i) 16% compounded Quarterly
where, r = Interest rate = 16%
m = No of times compounding in a year = 4
EAR = 1.169859 - 1
EAR = 16.9859%
ii) 15% compounded continously
where, r = Interest rate = 15%
EAR = 1.161834 - 1
EAR = 16.1834%
iii) 16% compounded annually
where, r = Interest rate = 16%
m = No of times compounding in a year = 1
EAR = 1.16 - 1
EAR = 16%
iv) 15.20% compounded Daily
where, r = Interest rate = 15.20%
m = No of times compounding in a year = 365
EAR = 1.164123 - 1
EAR = 16.4123%
