a. If you are told that your effective annual interest rate is 10%, what is the nominal interest rate compounded quarterly?
b. What is the effective annual interest rate if the nominal interest rate is 7%, and the frequency of compounding is once a month?
c. How much time would it take for your principal to quadruple if the effective annual interest rate is 5%, and the frequency of compounding is once a year?
A) Effective annual interest rate = [1 + (i/n)]n - 1
Where, i = nominal interest rate; n = no. Of times interest rate is compounded each year
Therefore, 10% = [1 + (i/4)]4 - 1
Or, 0.1 = [1 + (i/4)]4 - 1
Or, [1 + (i/4)]4 = 1.1
Or, 1 + (i/4) = (1.1)(1/4) = 1.024
Or, (i/4) = 0.024
Or, i = 0.096 = 9.6%
Answer: 9.6%
B) i = 7% and n = 12
Effective annual interest rate = [1 + (7%/12)]12 - 1 = 7.23%
