    A bank offers different bank accounts with different interest rates
    Bank account 1 = 10% interest per year, interest calculated quarterly
    Bank account 2 = 12% interest per year, interest calculated monthly
    Bank account 3 = 1.2% interest per month
    Bank account 4 = 3% interest per quarter

    Solution:

    1. (1+0.1/4) ^4-1 X 100 = 10.38%
    2. (1+0.12/12) ^12-1 X 100 = 12.68%
    3. (1+0.012) ^12-1 X 100 = 15.39%
    4. (1+0.03) ^4 -1 X 100 = 12.55%

    I don’t get it we have formula where R = (1 + i/n) ^ n -1

    The first two solutions have been divided by “n”, but in the case of the last two (3 and 4) they did not divide by “n” (In the 3rd case it’s 12 and in the 4th case is 4). can you explain why?

    thanks in advance

    In the first two it was dividend in order to first get the quarterly or monthly rate.

    In the last two the question already stated to monthly and quarterly rates.

    Have you watched my free lectures on interest?
