    Rate Interest rate Number of period
    12% annual rate, compounded annually12%1The compounding is annual, hence the rate shall remain same and period shall be 1.
    6% annual rate, compounded semiannually3%2The compounding is semiannual, hence the rate shall be half and period shall be double.
    8% annual rate, compounded quarterly2%4The compounding is quarterly, hence the rate shall be one fourth and period shall be four times.
    12% annual rate, compounded monthly1%12The compounding is monthly, hence the rate shall be divided by 12 and period shall be multiplied by 12.
