Find the effective yield, to the nearest tenth of a percent, of an investment at 7.5% compounded monthly.
--------------------
Let the investment be P dollars.
------------
A(t) = P(1 + (0.075/12))^(12*1)
A(t) = P(1.00625)^12
A(t) = P(1.0776..)
A(t) = P + 0.0776..P
-------------------------
effective yield is 0.0776 = 7.76%
=====================================
