    Dear sir,

    Could you tell me whether my understanding about EAR and the n applied in the following situation is right?

    The future cash inflow(4m) is paid half a year and the whole life period is 5 years.
    The annual interest rate is 20%.

    So the effective int. rate=(1+20%/2)2 -1=10.25%

    Using the formula of af=[1 – (1 + r)(-n) ]/r

    r=10.25%
    n=10 (5*2)

    then we get the af

    Thanks in advance!!!
