Find the EAR in each of the following cases (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.): Stated Rate (APR) Number of Times Compounded Effective Rate (EAR) 9.3% Quarterly % 18.3 Monthly 14.3 Daily 11.3 Infinite

Answer and Explanation:

The formula to calculate the effective annual rates under the following scenarios is as follows:

As we know that

Effective annual rate = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷  compounding period)^compounding period - 1

1. For Quartely

EAR = (1 + 0.093 ÷ 4)^4 - 1

= 9.63%

2. For monthly

EAR = (1 + 0.183 ÷ 12)^12 - 1

= 19.92%

3. For daily

EAR  = (1 + 0.143 ÷ 365)^365 - 1

= 15.37%

4. For daily

EAR = (e)^APR - 1

Here

e = 2.71828

EAR = (2.71828)^0.113 - 1

= 11.96%

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
