Homework answers / question archive / You plan to apply for a loan from Bank of America
You plan to apply for a loan from Bank of America. The nominal annual interest rate for this loan is 10.76 percent, compounded daily (with a 365-day year). What is the effective annual rate, or EAR (annual percentage yield), of this loan?
Computation of Effective Annual Rate (EAR):
Effective Annual Rate (EAR) = (1+ Stated Nominal Rate/Number of Periods)^Number of Periods - 1
Here,
Stated Nominal Rate = 10.76% or 0.1076
Number of Periods = 365 days
Effective Annual Rate (EAR) = (1+ 0.1076/365)^365 - 1
= (1+0.0003)^365 - 1
= 1.1136 - 1
= 0.1136 or 11.36%
Hence, Effective Annual Rate is 11.36%
