Explanation / Answer

Answer 1:

(a) Nominal rate = 15.40% p.a.

(b) Periodic rate is the annual interest rate divided by the number of compounding periods.

so periodic rate in this question is 3.85% (15.40 % divided by 4 quarter)

(c) Effective interest rate is compounded rate.

Ex : If $100 is invested for 1 year & interest rate is 15.40% compounded quarterly,

100 X ( 1 + .1540 / 4 ) ^ 4 = $ 116.31 [ Principal X ( 1 + Intt / period ) ^ period ]

Interest component = 116.31 less 100 = $16.31

So, effective interest rate in this case is 16.31 % p.a.

Answer 2:

Example : If $100 is invested for 1 year & interest rate is 14% compounded daily,

100 X ( 1+ .14 / 365 ) ^ 365 = 115.02

Interest component = 115.02 less 100 = $15.02

So, effective interest rate in this case is 15.02 % p.a.

Answer 3 :

Invested Amt = $ 11,000 ; Interest Rate 6 % compounded daily ; Duration = 4 months

  

11000 X ( 1+ .06 / 365 ) ^ 122 = $ 11,222.81

Note : Calculation of 122 Days:

( 4 Months / 12 ) X 365 = 121.67 i.e. 122 Days
