Hi Sir, please help me to answer the question below.
Investment P offers of 5% per year compounded half yearly for a period of 4 years
Investment Q offers one interest payment of 18% at the end of its 4 year life.
what is the annual e.i.r offered by each of the two investment?

effective interest rate
10y ago#1P pays interest of 5%/2 = 2.5% every six months.
Therefore the annual rate for P = 1.025^2 - 1 = 0.050625 or 5.0625%
Q pays 18% over 4 years, therefore if the annual rate is R, then:
(1+R)^4 = 1.18
R = 0.422 or 4.22% per annum
