1
) X 100
To solve a continuous compounding problem complete these steps:
1
. Compute the annual cfTcctivc rate using the above equation.
2« Either use this elTcctive rate in your calculations with an annual
period
{P/YR
= 1) or convert this rate so that it applies to your pay
ment period. In the following example,
P/YR
= 12 so you have to
calculate a new

tion with
P/YR
equal to 12.
