Answer: 16.53%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Annual percentage rate(r) = 15. 3% = 0.153
n = number of compounding periods in a year
p = number of compounding periods rate is required for
Number of days in a year = 365 = n
p = 365
Effective interest rate (E) is given as :
E = [( 1 + (r / n) )^p] - 1
E = [(1 + (0.153 / 365)) ^365] - 1
E = [ (1 + 0.0004191) ^365] - 1
E = [1.0004191^365] - 1
E = 1.1652876 - 1
E = 0.1652876
Effective Interest rate = (0.1652876 × 100)%
Effective interest rate = 16.53%
