We have a deposit of $2000 into an account that pays 6% compounded monthly, after a year we will have:


\begin{gathered} \text{account}_{\text{year}}=2000\cdot(1+(6)/(100))^(12) \\ \text{account}_{\text{year}}=4024.4 \end{gathered}

The effective annual yield (EAY) will be:


\text{EAY}=(account_(year))/(2000)-1=(4024.14)/(2000)-1=1.0122

The EAY is 101.22%
