suppose a savings and loan pays a nominal rate of 3.6% on savings deposits. find the effective annual yield if interest is compounded annually. (round to the nearest thousandth as needed)

Respuesta :

To find the effective annual yield, we will use the formula:

[tex]\lbrack1\text{ +(}\frac{i}{n})\rbrack^n-\text{ 1}[/tex]

where i is the nominal interest rate

n is the number of time the interest is compounded annually

From the question, i = 3.6%= 0.036

n = 1

substitute the values into the formula;

[tex]\lbrack1\text{ +}\frac{0.036}{1}\rbrack^1-\text{ 1}[/tex]

= [1 +0.036 ] - 1

= 0.036
