    10.38%

    17.23%

    17.35%

    12.36%

    Explanation:

    10% quarterly:

    EAR = (1+APR/4) ^4-1

    The APR is divided by 4 and raised to the power of 4 to show that interest is compounded four times a year

    EAR = (1+10%/4) ^4-1=10.38%

    16% monthly:

    EAR = (1+APR/12) ^12-1 = (1+16%/12) ^12-1=17.23%

    16% daily:

    EAR = (1+APR/365) ^365-1 = (1+16%/365) ^365-1=17.35%

    12% semiannually:

    EAR = (1+APR/2) ^2-1 = (1+12%/2) ^2-1=12.36%

    The APR is divided by 2 and raised to the power of 2 since interest compounding is twice a year
