Question:

The effective rate that is equivalent to a nominal rate of 8% compounded continuously is :

(Given that $e^{0.08}=1.0833$)

Options:

8.99%

8.00%

8.33%

8.66%

Correct Answer:

8.33%

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 8.33%

The effective rate interest is,

$r_{eff}=e^r-1$

$r$ → Nominal rate

$⇒r_{eff}=e^{0.08}-1$

$≃0.0833$

$≃8.33\%$
