Question

Arabian Beauty Cosmetics borrowed BD 152.300 from the National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) for three years. If the quoted rate (APR) is 11.75%, and the compounding is daily, what is the Effective Annual Rate?​

Answer 1

Answer: 12.47%

Explanation:

First convert the APR to the relevant periodic rate.

The compounding is done daily so the periodic rate is:

= 11.75%/365

Effective Annual rate is calculated by the formula:

= ( 1 + periodic rate)  ^ compounding period per year - 1

= ( 1 + 11.75%/365)³⁶⁵ - 1

= 12.47%
