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.)

Suppose that $P$ dollars in principal is invested at an annual interest rate $r$. For interest compounded $n$ times per year, the amount $A(t)$ in the account after $t$ years is given by $A(t)=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}$. If interest is compounded continuously, the amount is given by $A(t)=P e^{n} .$ Suppose an investor deposits $\$ 15,000$ in an account for 8 yr at $5.0 \%$ interest. Find the total amount of money in the account for the following compounding options. Compare your answers. How does the number of compound periods per year affect the total investment? a. Compounded annually b. Compounded quarterly c. Compounded monthly d. Compounded daily e. Compounded continuously
