What nominal interest rate compounded quarterly does the business offer?
:
assume the initial amt is 1 and the resulting amt is 3
1(1+)^(27*4) = 3
;
(1+)^108 = 3
use natural logs
ln((1+)^108) = ln(3)
:
108*ln((1+)) = 1.0986
:
log(1+) =
:
log(1+) = .010172336
Find the antilog
1 + = 1.01022425
subtract 1 from both sides = .01022425
r = 4 * .01022425
r = .0409 or 4.09 % is the interest rate
