compounded daily for four months. Based on a 365-day year, what is the total amount that Rahul owes the bank at the end of the loan's term? (Hint:

Nominal rate

The interest rate before accounting for inflation is referred to as the nominal interest rate. The term "nominal" can also apply to the advertised or quoted interest rate on a loan, which excludes any fees or interest compounding.
