Suppose that you are forecasting one-year T-bill rates issued by Bangladesh Bank which are 5.25%, 6.15%, 8.50%, 9.25%, 10.10% in year 1,2,3,4 and 5 respectively.

An investor can invest money with a particular bank and earn a stated interest rate of 4.40%; however, interest will be compounded quarterly. What i are the nominal, periodic, and effective interest rates for this investment opportunity? Interest Rates Nominal rate Periodic rate Effective annual rate Rahul needs a loan and is speaking to several lending agencies about the interest rates they would charge and the terms they offer. He particularly likes his local bank because he is being offered a nominal rate of 4%. But the bank is compounding bimonthly (every two months). What is the effective interest rate that Rahul would pay for the loan? ○ 3.945% 4.152% 4.067% 04.186 % Another bank is also offering favorable terms, so Rahul decides to take a loan of $12,000 from this bank.
