    Hi Sir,
    I hope you are well.

    Please may you elaborate this question and answer a little for me.
    What is the effective annual rate of interest of 2.1% compounded every three month?
    Answer is 8.67%

    My take on this question was to convert nominal rate (2.1%) to effective annual rate by applying this formula (1 + i/m) ^ m – 1. Where ‘m’ is the number of compound periods
    ‘i’ is the interest rate
    Applying this formula my answer isn`t correct.

    Please advise.

    Many Thanks

    If there is interest of 2.1% every 3 months, then the effective annual rate ls:

    1.021^4 – 1 = 0.0867 (or. 8.67%)

    Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
