Solution

The bank wants to earn an effective annual return of 15% with daily compounding. The formula to calculate the nominal interest rate (i) given the effective interest rate (r) and the number of compounding periods (n) is:

i = (1 + r)^(1/n) - 1

In this case, r = 15% or 0.15 and n = 365 (days in a year). Substituting these values into the formula gives:

i = (1 + 0.15)^(1/365) - 1

This will give you the daily interest rate. To get the annual nominal rate, you multiply this daily rate by 365:

Annual nominal rate = i * 365

After calculating, you will find that the annual nominal rate is approximately 14.14%. However, this is not one of the options given. The bank should report the effective annual rate to its customers, which is 15%. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 15%.
