Solution: Effective and nominal interest rates If 1$ is deposited at 4% compounded quarterly, a calculator can be used to find that at the end of one year the compounded amount is $1.0406, an increase of 4.06% over the original $1. The actual increase of 4.06% in the money is higher than the stated increase of 4%. The stated 4% is called the nominal rate of interest and the actual increase of 4.06% is called the effective rate. Effective Rate The effective rate corresponding to a stated rate of interest r compounded n-times per year is: re= (1+ 5)™—1 = (9) Ex.11: Find the effective rate of an investment at 5.2% compounded semiannually.
