Find the amount in the account after one year, assuming no withdrawals are made.
Calculate the amount using the compound interest formula.
Using the formula \( A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \), we substitute \( P = 5500 \), \( r = 0.031 \), \( n = 365 \), and \( t = 1 \):
\[
A = 5500 \left(1 + \frac{0.031}{365}\right)^{365 \cdot 1} \approx 5673.16
\]
Round the result to the nearest cent.
The amount in the account after one year is \( 5673.16 \).
\(\boxed{5673.16}\)
Find the effective annual interest rate, expressed as a percentage.
Calculate the effective annual interest rate using the formula.
Using the formula \( \text{EAR} = \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^n - 1 \), we substitute \( r = 0.031 \) and \( n = 365 \):
\[
\text{EAR} = \left(1 + \frac{0.031}{365}\right)^{365} - 1 \approx 0.0315
\]
Convert the result to a percentage and round to the nearest hundredth.
The effective annual interest rate is \( 3.15\% \).
\(\boxed{3.15}\)
The amount in the account after one year is \(\boxed{5673.16}\) and the effective annual interest rate is \(\boxed{3.15}\).
