The question relates to study guide reference C5d The correct answer is C. The answer can be arrived at by calculation (Investment Exe annual effective return = 1.022 - 1 = 0.0404 or 4.04% and investment Wye annual effective return = 1.20025 - 1 = 0.0466 or 4.66%). Alternatively the answer can be 'reasoned' out: investment Exe's semi annual compounding must result in a higher effective annual rate than 4% (2 x 2%) and a 20% return over a 4 year period must have an effective annual rate of less than 5% (20% + 4 years) when the compounding effect is allowed for. Just over 32% of candidates incorrectly selected option D. This suggests that although most candidates can convert a sub annual interest rate into an effective annual rate, many find it difficult to convert a multi year rate into an effective annual rate.
