In many financialtransactions, interest is computed and charged more than once ayear. Interest on corporate bonds, for example, is usually payableevery six months. |

Consider a loantransaction in which interest is charged at the rate of 1 percentper month. Sometimes such a transaction is described as having aninterest rate of 12 percent per annum. More precisely, this rateshould be described as a nominal 12 percent per annum coumpoundedmonthly. |

Clearly, it isdesirable to recognize the difference between 1 percent per monthcompounded monthly and 12 percent per annum compounded annually. If$1,000 is borrowed with interest at 1 percent per month compoundedmonthly, the amount due in one year is: |
||||||||||
|
F =$1,000(1.01)12 = $1,000(1.1268) = $1,126.80 Thiscompares to F = $1,000(1+.12) =$1,120.00 for annualcompounding. |

Hence, themonthly compounding has the same effect on the year-end amount dueas the charging of a rate of 12.68 percent compounded annually.12.68 percent is referred to as the effective interestrate. |

To generalize, ifinterest is compounded m times a year at an interest rate of r/mper compounding period. Then, |
||||||||||
|
The nominalinterest rate per annum, or the APR = m(r/m) = r. |
||||||||||
|
The effectiveinterest rate per annum,or the EAR = (1+r/m)m - 1. |
