Pe^rt for continuously compounded so 100000*e^(0.03)*1=103,045.45 so 3.0454% effective rate Continuously compounded
a. 100000(1+(0.03/366))^366=103,045.32 so 3.0453%
b. 100000(1+(.03/12))^12=103041.6 or 3.0416%
c. 100000(1+(.03/6))^6, using the meaning here as every 2 months, =103037.75 or 3.0378%
d. 100000(1+(.03/4))^4=103,033.91 or 3.0339%
