Answer:
D) It is equivalent to 4.06% paid annually
Explanation:
Since it is not talking about annuity and simple compound interest, therefore assuming investment value = $100 then interest will be as follows:
Interest for each quarter = = 1%
But this 1% will be paid on the compounded value
Interest at end of Quarter 1 = $100 X 1% = $1
Compounded value at end of Quarter 1 = $100 + $1 = $101
Interest at end of Quarter 2 = $101 X 1% = $1.01
Compounded value at end of Quarter 2 = $101 + $1.01 = $102.01
Interest at end of Quarter 3 = $102.01 X 1% = $1.0201
Compounded value at end of Quarter 3 = $102.01 + $1.0201 = $103.0301
Interest at end of Quarter 4 = $103.0301 X 1% = $1.030301
Compounded value at end of Quarter 4 = $103.0301 + $1.030301 = $104.060401
Now net return annually = $4.060401/$100 = 4.06%
Final Answer
D) It is equivalent to 4.06% paid annually
