Expert Solution
Step 1

Effective annual interest rate(EAR) refers to the real rate of return that we earn on our savings or paid onto a loan when the effect of the compounding period is taken into consideration. The more the compounding periods, the more will be the effective interest rate, and the lower the number of the compounding periods, the lower will be the effective interest rate . When there is only one compounding period in a year, the effective annual interest rate will be equal to the stated nominal interest rate.
