Effective Intrest from nominal intrest rate

LLokesh5y ago
Hi sir, Your lectures are way better than reading textbook. There is a formula for everything in textbook even its not needed. Q- The nominal intrest rateis 10% PER YEAR compounded on a monthly basis. Req- A company is going to invest for 12 month what is the effective intrest rate ? What i tried - (0.1/12)^12 x100 but as i do (0.1/12)^12 it becomes zero. The answer in book is - 10.47 %

The monthly rate is 0.1/12 If the annual rate is R, then 1+R = (1 x 0.1/12)^12 = 1.1047 Therefore R = 0.1047 or 10.47%
