The value I would plug into the equation is 0.085.
The effective interest rate is the interest rate a borrower actually pay on a loan. It is determined by restating the nominal interest rate.
The formula used in determining the effective interest rate is: (1 + n [tex])^{m}[/tex] - 1
Where:
n = nominal interest rate
m = number of compounding
For example, if nominal interest rate is 8.5% and the number of compounding is 2, the effective interest rate is: (1.085)² - 1 = 17.72%
