A bank advertises its certificates of deposits as yielding a 5.2% annual effective rate. What is the equivalent continuously compounded rate of return?
The equivalent continuously compounded rate in this case can be calculated as ln(1+5.2%) = 5.07%. The other answers are incorrect.
Refer to the tutorial on interest rates for more details on how continuously compounded rates work.
