For quarterly compounding, some question have calculated PV by calculating the EAR first, then used EAR to determine PV. So far I have been using the approach of compounding periods e.g. N=no of compounding periods i.e. if 5 years and quarterly compounding means N=20 and if the given rate is 5% then I/Y=5/4. Is there any difference in two approaches? Do they both lead to same result? Am I confused between bond and TVM problems?作者: studyn 时间: 2011-7-13 15:47
I think they yield the same result.
Take a small example:
10% stated annual rate has 2.5% quarterly rate
Its EAR = 1.025^4-1=10.38%.
It's basically the same when you use N=4 and I/Y = 2.5

I think for the question I got wrong did not yield the same. Does anyone else have any other opinion on this?作者: dontknow1987 时间: 2011-7-13 15:47
It depends how they provide the rate of return.
If they give the periodic rate say 10% compounded semi annually, then u need to convert it to EAR if using N yearly periods:
EAR = (1+periodic)^(m) ] - 1
periodic = stated rate / m
so in this example...10% compounded semiannually is the stated rate:
EAR = ((1 + (.10/2))^(2)) - 1 = 10.25% annual rate = use that rate with N = annual periods.
both approaches do yield the same result as long as the I and the N match in units (ie: both monthly) but I would say it is better to convert the stated rate to an annual rate for many questions.作者: pacmandefense 时间: 2011-7-13 15:47

If both of them yield the same result then why clause?作者: siavosh 时间: 2011-7-13 15:47
Why dont you post the question you got wrong here? It's easier to do on example than explain generally. If you want a good answer, post a detailed question!作者: Jolyn 时间: 2011-7-13 15:47
