Answer:
Calculations are listed below.
Explanation:
To compare each rate, we will calculate the real annual rate for each one.
Annual rate= [(1+i)^n] - 1
A) daily compounded rate of 0.045%
Annual rate= {(1.00045^365)-1}*100= 17.85%
B) A weekly compounded rate of 0.305%
Annual rate= {[(1.0035^52)-1]}*100= 19.92%
C) A monthly compounded rate of 1.55%.
Annual rate= [(1.0155^12)-1]*100= 20.27%
D) A quarterly compounded rater of 4.25%
Annual rate= [(1.0425^4)-1]*100= 18.11%
E) A semiannually compounded rate of 8%
Annual rate= [(1.08^2)-1]*100= 16.64%
F) An annually compounded rate of 18%.
<u>The best rate for investment is a monthly compounded rate of 1.55%.</u>
G) What is the effective annual (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050%?
Annual rate= [(1.00050^365)-1]*100= 20%
