Answer:
effective annual rate = 6.22 %
Explanation:
given data
future value = 1.00 million
present value = $985,000
time = 3 months
to find out
effective annual rate (EAR)
solution
we consider here interest rate for 3 month that is = x%
so now we calculate interest rate by present value and future value
present value = future value ÷ ( 1+ rate )
985000 = [tex]\frac{1000000}{(1+x)}[/tex]
x = 1.52 %
so effective annual rate will be
effective annual rate = [tex](1+r)^{n-1}[/tex] ......................1
here r is rate i.e 1.52 % and n is 4 that is quarter in 1 year
so
effective annual rate = [tex](1+0.0152)^{4-1}[/tex]
effective annual rate = 6.22 %
