    Carter’s treasury department is now considering how to best invest a cash surplus. Investment Exe offers interest of 4% per year, compounded semi-annually, for a period of three years. Investment Wye offers one interest payment of 20% at the end of its four-year life.

    Which of the two investments gives the higher annual effective interest rate (work to 2 decimal places)?

    Select one:
    Investment Wye
    Investment Exe

    Semi annually means twice a year, which is every six months. If it is 4% a year then is 6/12 x 4% every half year.

    As for the rest, I really cannot add to what is in the post that I linked to. The reasoning is all explained in my free lectures on interest.
