    An investor has the choice between two investments. 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.
    What is the annual effective interest rate offered by the two investments?
    Investment Exe Investment Wye
    A 4.00% 4.66%
    B 4.00% 5.00%
    C 4.04% 4.66%
    D 4.04% 5.00%
    Hi , sir I have a question why Wye’s the annual effective interest rate= 1.20 ^0.25 – 1 = 0.0466 and why Wye’s the annual effective interest rate=(1+.2/.25)^0.25 – 1 this calculation is wrong

    If the annual interest is R, then the total interest over 4 years = (1 + R)^4

    So (1+R)^4 = 1.20
    Therefore R = (fourth root of 1.20) – 1
