Explanation / Answer

a.

Effective interest rate for semiannual compounding = (1+12%/2)^2 -1

= (1+12%/2)^2 -1

= 12.360%

b. Correct option is > = $15,549.94

PV = Present value = Loan = $14000

Rate = 14%

m = Compounding frequency = 365

n = year(s) = 9 months = 9/12 = 0.75

FV = ?

Formula for FV:

FV = PV x (1+R/m)^(m x n)

FV = 14000 x (1+14%/365)^(365 x 0.75)

FV = $15,549.64 (rounding off difference)
