Let (r_{m}) be the interest rate with (m) compoundings per year, for example, (m=12) means monthly compounding.
Question:
Let \(r_{m}\) be the interest rate with \(m\) compoundings per year, for example, \(m=12\) means monthly compounding.
(a) Derive the formula to convert \(r_{m}\) to \(r_{n}\) for general \(m, n=1,2,4,12\).
(b) Let \(r_{c}\) be the continuous compounding rate. Derive the formula to convert \(r_{m}\) to \(r_{c}\) and vice versa.
(c) Convert a simple add-on rate, \(r_{0}\), to a compounded rate \(r_{m}(m=\) \(1,2,4,12\) ), and vice versa.
(d) Convert a simple add-on rate, \(r_{0}\), to a continuously compounded rate, \(r_{c}\), and vice versa.
(e) For \(m (f) Convert a simple (add-on) Act/360 rate, \(r_{1}\) to a simple (add-on) Act/365 rate, \(r_{2}\). Hint: Compute the 1-year future value of unit currency invested at each rate and use the law of one price.
