Answer:

Stated Rate No. of Times Compounded Effective Rate (EAR) %

11.85% Semiannually 12.2 %

12.37% Monthly 13.1%

110.27% Weekly 10.8%

13.54% Infinite 14.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

EAR = ( 1 + ( APR / m )^m)-1

Semiannually

m = 12 / 6 = 2

0.1220 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2) - 1

0.1220 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2

1.1220 = ( 1 + ( APR / 2 ) )^2


√(1.1220) =
√(( 1 + ( APR / 2 ))^2)

1.059 = 1 + ( APR / 2 )

1.059 - 1 = APR / 2

0.059 x 2 = APR

APR = 0.1185 = 11.85%

Monthly

m = 12 / 1 = 12

0.1310 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12) - 1

0.1310 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

1.1310 = ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

APR = 12.37%

Weekly

m = 52

0.1080 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52) - 1

0.1080 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52

1.1080 = ( 1 + ( APR / 52 ) )^52

APR = 10.27%

Infinite

m = 20,000

0.1450 = ( ( 1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12) - 1

0.1450 + 1 = (1 + ( APR / 12 ) )^12

1.1450 = ( 1 + ( APR / 20,000 ) )^20,000

APR = 13.54%
