Answer:

The APY of the saving account is 4.0474%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the formula for APY which is given by

[tex]APY=(1+\frac{r}{n} )^n-1[/tex]

here, r= interset rate =  3.9742% = 0.039742

n = compounding cycles = 12

On plugging these values in the above formula, we get

[tex]APY=(1+\frac{0.039742}{12} )^{12}-1[/tex]

On simplifying this we get

APY =0.04047395=4.0474%

Answer:

APY = 4.0474%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) = 3.9742% compounded monthly.

Suppose Principal amount, P = $1.

time, t = 1 year.

interest rate, r = 3.9742% = 0.039742

period of compounding, n = 12 (for monthly).

Future value = P * (1 + r/n)^(nt)

FV = 1 * (1 + 0.039742/12)^(1*12) = 1.040473955

Annual Percentage Growth = (FV/P)*100 = (1.040473955 / 1) * 100 = 4.0473955%

Hence, Annual Percentage Yield (APY) = 4.0474%
