What is the annual compounded monthly rate equivalent to 19% per annum compounded per quarter?
Rate per compunded quarterly = 19%
EAR = ((1+APR/4)^4) - 1
0.19 = ((1+APR/4)^4) -1
1.19 = (1+APR/4)^4
1.19^1/4 = 1+APR/4
1.04444780217 = 1+APR/4
APR = 0.04444780217 * 4
APR = 17.78%
EAR for monthly compounded = (1+APR/12)^12 - 1
= (1+0.1778/12)^12 - 1
= 19.30%
