I got stated annual rate as 0,081483747
after applying EAR formula I`m getting higher values through, can somebody help?
Your EAR is correct.
How are you converting that to a continuous rate, a stated rate compounded daily, and a stated rate compounded semiannually?
I`m doing
EAR = (1+0,081483747/365)365 than -1 and multiply by 100, got 8,48 for daily lol
One down, two to go.
For semi I got 0,083143648
for continuous got 0,084370898
non of them are the answers…
I didn’t ask what you got; I asked how you got them.
Your semiannual rate is wrong.
EAR = (1+0,081483747/365)365 than -1 and multiply by 100, got 8,48 for daily lol
well I applyed that formula…
The rate of 8.1483747% is the EAR.
How can I get the other values than?
What’s the formula that relates EAR to the continuously compounded rate?
What’s the formula that relates EAR to stated rate?
EAR = ers − 1 ?
What’s ers?
It makes me very happy to see you doing this kind of problem by hand in order to understand the mechanics. 
I know you use the HP, but the BA II has a nominal to EAR converter. Does the HP have something similar? It would save you time and grief.
I don`t think the HP12c has a function like that…
You mean the BA II you don`t need to know the EAR formula to convert?
The calculator does it all?
I dont know its the formula that is in the book for EAR…
No, it’s not.
Maybe you’re forgetting a superscript?
The only way I found to do is 500000 CHS PV 800000 FV 12N 0 PMT
asks for i = 3,9944 than i multiply for 2 get nearly 8% semianually compounded
Pretty sure there`s a alternative to do it through, was looking for it…
That’s the semiannually compounded stated rate:
Stated ratesemiannual = [(1 + EAR)1/2 – 1] × 2
More generally, for compounding n times per year:
Stated rate_n_ = [(1 + EAR)1/n – 1] × n
Now . . . what about the continuously compounded formula?
By the way: there’s your answer: C.
In what page of the CFA curriculum is this formula?
