To calculate the Effective Annual Yield (i):
i=(1+rm)m−1
Where:
An effective annual yield is a measure of the true return on an investment over a time period.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
i=(1+0.054)4−1≈0.05095
The Effective Annual Yield is approximately 0.05095 or 5.095%.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
i=(1+0.0812)12−1≈0.0830
The Effective Annual Yield is approximately 0.0830 or 8.30%.
