Sir the formula of EAR Is (1+nominal rate / n)^n-1 In this question 12b.20 They have ignored the n which is below Why is that sir ? I mean the “n” denominator is ignored

We would only divide by 4 to get a three monthly rate if 2.1% was the annual rate. Since the question does not say that 2.1% is an annual rate then it must already be the 3 monthly rate and there is therefore not need to divide by 4.
