Find the interest rates in the situation as: The effective annual interest rate is 11.02% and compounding is monthly. Find the nominal interest rate.
You are comparing two investments. The first pays 3 percent interest per month, compounded monthly, and the second pays 6 percent interest per six months, compounded every six months.
a. What is the effective semiannual interest rate for each investment?
b. What is the effective annual interest rate for each investment?
c. Based on the interest rates, which investment is preferred? Does the decision depend on whether the comparison is based on an effective six-month rate or an effective one-year rate?
a. The effective semiannual interest rate for the first investment is
percent.
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

Select one: True False The more frequent the compounding, the higher the future value, other things equal. Select one: True False Which statement is NOT true?  a. Figure A correctly displays the relation between FVs of $1 investment at the interest rates 12.7% and 9.8%. b. Investment of $1 needs more than 7 years to double its value at the rate 9.8%, while only requiring less than 6 yeas to double at 12.7%. c.
