22 March 2010 For calculation of EAR with Periodic Rate of 15% use the following Formula.

EAR = {(1+Periodic Intt)(raise to power m)} -1
where m =50, peridic intt is .15/50 = .0030

Using above formula, EAR is 16.16%

2) If u are recieving Rs 230 per wek for 50 weeks then its worth as on today is 10,664 caluclated as

PV = A{1-(1+r)raise to power -n}/r

Here, A = 230, r= .15/50(weeks)=.0030 and n= 50.

It is benefil since u r paying 10,000 today where as its value as on today is 10664. So it is beneficial since u are paying less by Rs 664.
