Hi,
I am taking an engineering economics course. The questions says:
Suppose I have an effective interest rate – 10% per month,
compounded monthly, say – and I want to transform it
to an equivalent effective annual rate. How do I do this?
How I approached this problem was using:
ia = (1+(r/m))m - 1
where, r: nominal interest rate per year
and m: number of compounding sub-periods per year
But doing so gives me r = 120%. But shouldn't it always be less than or equal to 99?
Any help appreciated!
