As the number of compounding periods increases, what is the effect on the EAR? EAR:
A) |
increases at an increasing rate. | |
|
C) |
increases at a decreasing rate. | |
There is an upper limit to the EAR as the frequency of compounding increases. In the limit, with continuous compounding the EAR = eAPR –1. Hence, the EAR increases at a decreasing rate. |
