    Dear Sir,

    Refer to effective rate of interest or cost, as in lecture you have calculated as below:

    1+R= (1.02)^12 (2% for 30 days and accordingly n =12 (360 days /30)
    1+R = 1.2682
    R = 0.2682 or 26.82 % p.a

    Sir, can we calculate same as simple way as below

    r= 2% for 30 days , Annualized rate (R) = 2/30 days *360 days= 24% p.a

    Please advise.

    Thanks
    Kamal

    Strictly, for the exam, then it is the way that I do it in my lectures. The other way is only an approximation and would not get full marks.
