As of today, there was no one set interest rate in 1968. On a CD, the interest rate averaged between 5.53 percent and 6.39 percent in 1968. The 2013 rates on CDs are only 1.0 - 1.5 percent.
Mortgage interest rates were around 1.2% in 1968. This was considered to be relatively high back then. However, the interest rate these days is around 4%.
Nominal InterestA nominal interest rate is the interest rate that does not compensate for inflation. This is used in relation to "effective interest rate" or "real interest rate."" Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate - Inflation Rate " Improvement suggested by Palash Bagchi.
A nominal interest rate is an interest rate that does not factor in the rate on inflation. Nominal interest rate could also refer to an interest rate that does not adjust for the full effect of compounding.
A real interest rate and a nominal interest rate are quite similar. The only real difference between the two interest rates are that a nominal interest rate include the cost of inflation where as the real interest rate does not.
Annual Interest Rate divided by 12= Monthly Interest Rate
A nominal interest rate is an interest rate that does not factor in the rate on inflation. Nominal interest rate could also refer to an interest rate that does not adjust for the full effect of compounding.
Let i = annual rate of interest. Then i' = ((1+i )^(1/12))-1 Where i' = monthly rate of interest
The answer for rate in simple interest is =rate= simple interest\principle*time
An effective annual interest rate considers compounding. When the principle is compounded multiple times each year the interest rate increased to be more than the stated interest rate. The increased interest rate is the effective annual interest rate.
Compounding rate is the interest rate at which the rate grow faster than the simple interest on deposit or loan made. It is also said "interest on interest".
Any interest rate below 5% is a favorable rate currently. This interest rate is a competitive rate.
A representative interest rate is an interest rate that is exemplary or acrhetypical rate.
