    The effective interest rate of receiving 10% interest per annum compounded on a monthly basis for 12 months is the same as receiving 10.47 % interest per annum with no compounding

    Please explain this with an example sir thank you

    10% per annum is equivalent to 10/12 = 0.8333% per month.

    If it is compounded, then the yearly equivalent is (1.008333)^12 -1 = 0.1047 (i.e. 10.47%)

    I do explain this in my free lectures on interest 🙂

    10% compounded on a monthly basis means what sir

    Does that 10% in month 1
    And in month two 10% + 10% = 20%

    Please guide sir

    Thank you

    It means that when interest is added then the interest in the following month is on the whole amount.

    Again, I explain this in my free lectures and you cannot really expect me to type them all out here 🙂
