Answer:

<u>If the amount is P, with the interest rate of 12%, the interest over the year is:</u>

  • P*(1.12) - P = 0.12P

<u>In this case the quarterly interest rate is:</u>

  • 0.12P/4 = 0.03P

<u>With the same amount and 3% quarterly rate, the yearly interest would be:</u>

  • P*(1.03)^4 - P = 0.1255P

<u>The quarterly interest rate in this case is:</u>

  • 0.1255P/4 = 0.031375P

If the quarterly interest rate is r, it should be little less than 3% to yield a 12% yearly rate.

So Kraig is wrong.
