4.1 Quotation of Interest Rates
? Interest rates can be quoted in more than one way. ? Example:
? Interest equals "5% per 6-months" ? Interest is "12%" (12% per what?) ? Interest is 1% per month ? "Interest is "12.5% per year, compounded monthly"
? Thus, one must "decipher" the various ways to state interest and to calculate.
