Question

Edith opened a credit card at a department store with an APR of 23.73% compounded daily. What is the APY on this credit card?

Answer 1

The effective annual rate is
(1+r/n)^n -1
where r is the nominal rate and n is the number of compoundings per year.

You have r = 0.2373 and n=365, so the APY is
APY = (1 +0.2373/365)^365 -1 ≈ 26.77%
