<PRE><B>Question 176415</B>
A certificate of deposit has an annual rate of 6% compounded quarterly. Find the effective rate of interest. 
---------------------------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
--------------
Annual multiplier = (1+ (0.06)/4)^(4*1)
= (1+0.015)^4
= 1.06136
-------------
Annual interest rate = 0.06136 or 6.136%
