What is the annual percentage yield APY for money Invested a
Solution
We know that
Annual percentage yield(APY) = [ 1 + (r/N) ]N - 1
Where ,
r = Rate of interest as decimal
N = Number of compoundings per year
A ) Given that
r = 4.66% compounded monthly
r = (4.66)/100 = 0.0466
N = 12 [ since , compounded monthly ]
Hence ,
APY = [ 1 + (0.0466/12) ]12 - 1
Apy = 4.761%
B ) Given that
r = 4.67% compounded weekly
r = (4.67)/100 = 0.0466
N = 52 [ since , compounded weekly ]
Hence ,
APY = [ 1 + (0.0466/52) ]52 - 1
APY = 4.778%
