Answer

$1.0\%$ $1.004 \%$ $1.005\%$

Work Step by Step

(a) The effective annual rate for an account paying $1 \%$ compounded annually is $1 \%$ (b) The interest rate per quarter is $0.01 / 4$. Therefore, the effective interest rate is $$i= \left(1+\frac{0.01}{4}\right)^{4}-1= 1.004 \%$$ (c) The interest rate per day is $0.01/ 365$. Therefore, the effective interest rate is $$i= \left(1+\frac{0.01}{365}\right)^{365}-1= 1.005 \%$$
