Expert Solution

We have j∞ = 8%

So the nominal interest rate is payable infinity = 8%

lim p→∞ jp = δ

Hence δ = 8%

So exp(δ) = (1+i)

⇒ i = exp(0.08) - 1

⇒ i (effective rate of interest) = 8.3287%

Now ,Let nominal rate of interest payable quarterly = r

⇒ (1 + r/4)^4 = (1+i)

⇒ r = ((1+i)^(1/4) - 1) * 4

⇒ r = ((1+0.083287)^(1/4) - 1) * 4

⇒ r = 8.0805%

Therefore , nominal rate of interest compounded quarterly is 8.0805%
