What is better for the consumer simple interest or compounded daily?

I'm thinking of bonds when answering this question. The more frequent the compounding the better it will be for the lender. The less frequent the compounding the better it will be for the borrower. Lets use this example: Interest = 10% Principle = $1000 Compounding A = Annually Compounding B = Quarterly Time period = 2 years A) At the end of the first year $100 in interest would have been made making the balance $1100. At the end of the second year $110 would be earned because of compounding and the balance would be $1210. B) At the end of the first year $103.81 in interest would have been earned with a ending balance of $1103.81. At the end of the second year the interest earned would be $114.59 and the ending balance would be $1218.40. What I showed here is that if you are the one receiving the interest you would prefer daily compounding. When you're paying out interest you would prefer simple interest.


How many mistakes were there in the translation of the Bible?

This question is impossible to answer since any answer is open to interpretation and counter argument. One problem in determining what might be a translation error and what is not is compounded by the fact that the Hebrew and the Greek - the original languages have words and concepts which are foreign to English. This is compounded when the grammar is also different with different, and in many cases more complex verb tenses for example. Students of biblical Greek soon realise this. Thus what some might call a mistake is just a failure to express a concept from one language into another. If you are referring to translation into languages other than English the problem may be compounded when there is no word at all for something. A good example of this is the word ''snow'' which, since it does not occur has no word in some African languages. Translators then use the nearest ''white'' equivalent. Is this an error -certainly not. Another issue may be the personal religious or denominational bias of the translator or group of translators. And then there is also the textual basis from which they are translating. This is thus not at all a simple question. Many Christians would assert that the Bible is itself without mistakes (in terms of the original) but that some translations are definitely better than others. For a number of important reasons many regard the KJV as best. (This has been dealt with at length elsewhere on site). Others would also assert that, even given the limitations of language mentioned above, that God has indeed preserved His word from error.


Is the 3 month jibar rate already compounded quarterly ie NACQ?

The 3 month Jibar is derived from 3-month NCD rates. Likewise the 1-month Jibar is derived from 1-month NCDs. The Jibar rates are all quoted as nominal annual rates, which means that the interest you will receive on a 3-month investment at Jibar will be calculated as (3M Jibar/4) x (amount invested). Now if you are able to invest money for 3 months at the 3-month Jibar, you can obviously re-invest it after 3 months at the new 3-month Jibar. If the new 3M rate remains exactly the same then obviously it becomes your NACQ. The point is that it may not be the same as 3 months ago. Thus the 1-month Jibar can be seen as a NACM and the 6-month Jibar as a NACSA. A vanilla bond coupon rate is an even better example of a NACSA because it never changes. Now here is a challenge. If the 6-m Jibar is regarded as a NACSA what is the 9-month Jibar then? The short answer is that money market rates are never quoted as compounded rates - they are nominal annual rates. It depends on how the investment (or loan) is treated that determines whether they become NA compounded rates. If you invest in a 9-m NCD at 10% p.a. and re-invest the total maturity value after 9 months for another 9 months at 10% p.a., your effective interest interest rate earned for the first 12 months will be slightly more than 10%.
