Assume the inflation rate is 3.53% APR, compounded annually. Would you rather earn a nominal return of 5.69% APR, compounded semiannually, or a real return of 2.65% APR, compounded quarterly? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.)

To put these on the same basis, you must convert them both to nominal EARs

What is The EAR for 5.69% APR, compounded semiannually ?

What is The nominal EAR for a real 2.65% APR, compounded quarterly ?

What would you do ?
