The growth rate is 5.41% (EAR). We are calculating the stock value for 2 years worth of dividends that are paid monthly. What is the periodic rate we should use in our calculation? Round your answer to 2 decimal places AND enter your final answer as a percentage. Do not include "%" in your answer. For example 0.652124 = 65.21
Effective annual rate = (1+r/n)n - 1
where r is the nominal rate per year, n is the number of periods of compounding per year
We have Effective annual rate and we have to find out the nominal growth rate per year.
Given EAR = 5.41%, the effective rate is based on monthly compounding.
5.41% = (1+r/n)12 - 1
0.0541 + 1 = (1+r/12)12
(1.0541)1/12 = 1+r/12
1.0044003 = 1+r/12
r/12 = 0.0044003
r => 0.528036
The growth rate(periodic rate) per year is 5.28%.
Note : Effective annual rate is based on compounding periods in a single year. So, it doesnt matter if we are calculating the stock value of 2 years or more. Nominal rate and effective rate are always calculated based on a single year timeframe.
