Answer 1

Answer:

5.91%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an investment deposited fro 1 year compounded daily at an annual interest rate of 5.75%.

Compounding period per year, n: 365

The effective annual yield can be calculated by the following formula:

Effective Annual Yield = $(1+\frac{r}{n})^{n}-1$

where n = 365

Interest rate, r= 5.75% = 0.0575

$=(1+\frac{0.0575 }{365})^{365}-1$

= 0.059

The annual effective yield is 5.91%
