Example: Effective Rate
In this example the effective interest rate is computed given that the nominal rate is 6.0% and that the interest will be compounded quarterly.
using System;
using Imsl.Finance;
public class effectEx1
{
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
double nominalRate = .06;
int nper = 4;
double effectiveRate;
effectiveRate = Finance.Effect(nominalRate, nper);
Console.Out.WriteLine("The effective rate of the nominal rate,"
+ " 6.0%, " + "compounded quarterly is "
+ effectiveRate.ToString("P"));
}
}
Output
The effective rate of the nominal rate, 6.0%, compounded quarterly is 6.14 %
