Suppose you want to earn an effective rate of 12% and you are looking at an account that compounds on a monthly basis. What APR must they pay?
Effective annual rate = 12%
APR compounded monthly = n*((1 + EAR)^1/n - 1)
= 12*((1 + 0.12)^0.0833 - 1)
= 12*1.0095 - 1
= 12*0.0095
= 0.1138*100
= 11.38%
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
