Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

For the same nominal annual rate of 12%, more frequent compounding yields a higher effective interest rate: (1.01)24>(1.03)8>(1.06)4>(1.12)2(1.01)^{24} > (1.03)^8 > (1.06)^4 > (1.12)^2. Thus 1% per month compounded monthly gives the highest interest.
