Expert Solution
Step 1

EAR is the annual equivalent rate for a given interest rate after taking into consideration the effects and impacts of compounding.

EAR is the actual interest rate that one end up earning on an investment (or ends up paying on a loan) when the impact of compounding is considered over a given time period. So when you invest in something and it pays 5% with monthly compounding then in that case EAR will not be 5% but a different number.
