(a) Compute the effective interest rate corresponding to a nominal interest rate of 9% compounded semiannually. Effective interest rate, as a percent, rounded to 4 decimal places = % (b) Compute the effective interest rate corresponding to a nominal interest rate of 8.91% compounded quarterly. Effective interest rate, as a percent, rounded to 4 decimal places = % (c) Select the investment that offers the better return. 9% compounded semiannually 8.91% compounded quarterly

Adi S.
Find the effective rate of interest that is equivalent to a nominal rate of 15% compounded for the given times a year. Answer parts (a) through (e). (a) If the rate of interest is compounded yearly, then re ≈ 15%. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) If the rate of interest is compounded semiannually, then re ≈ 15.563%. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) If the rate of interest is compounded quarterly, then re ≈ 15.865%. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
