What is the annual percemtage yield(apy) for money invested at an annual rate of
a 4.31 compounded monthly?
b 4.32 compounded quarterly?
Solution
Formula or APY = ( 1 + rate/no. of time compounded )^(no. of times compounded ) -1
a) r = 4.31 % ; n=12
APY = ( 1+ 0.0431/12)^12 -1
=0.04396
APY = 4.4 %
b) r = 4.32% ; n = 4
APY = ( 1+ 0.0432/4)^4 -1
= 0.0439
APY = 4.39%
