The nominal interest rate, $i^{(p)}$, is the nominal rate per annum payable p times a year over p periods. A capital amount $C$ accumulates to $C(1+i_{[p]})^p$ where $i_{[p]}={i^{(p)} \\over p}$

\n

Comparing this with $C(1+i)$ gives:

\n

$1+i=(1+{i^{(p)} \\over p})^p$

\n

where:

\n\n

Re-arranging this equation to make $i$ the subject of the formula gives:

\n

$i=(1+{i^{(p)} \\over p})^p-1$

\n

In the above question:

\n\n

Substituting these values in the above equation gives the annual effective rate $i$.
