An investor can invest money with a particular bank and earn a stated interest rate of 15.40%; however, interest will be compounded quarterly. what are the nominal, periodic, and effective interest rates for this investment opportunity?

Nominal rate = 15.40%, Periodic rate = 3.85% and effective interest rate = 16.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

An investor can invest money and earn a stated interest rate = 15.40%

We have to find the nominal, periodic and effective interest rates for this investment.

Nominal rate = Stated interest rate is also called annual percentage rate or nominal interest rate. Therefore nominal interest rate = 15.40%.

Periodic interest rate = Periodic interest rate is the annual interest rate divided by number of compounding periods.

Periodic rate = ( ) = 3.85%

Effective interest rate = We have to calculate Effective interest rate (EAR)  by the formula =  

where i = rate of interest and n = number of compounding periods

EAR = 1.1631 - 1

EAR = 0.1631 = 16.31%

Therefore, Nominal rate = 15.40%, Periodic rate = 3.85% and effective interest rate = 16.31%

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6
