b.	What is the effective quarterly return? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
c.	What is the effective monthly return? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer 1

a.Effective semi-annual return= Effective annual return/ 2

                                                           = 12.8%/ 2

                                                           = 6.4%

b.Effective quarterly return= Effective annual return/4

                                                     = 12.8%/ 4

                                                     = 3.2%

c.Effective monthly return= Effective annual return/ 12

                                                  =12.8%/ 12

                                                  = 1.0667%
