Annual percentage yield APY, the percentage rate, reflecting the total amount of dividends, paid on an account based on the dividend rate, and the frequency of compound in for a 365 day period for share, and share draft accounts, or for the term of the account for term share accounts. The APY assumes the principal amount remains in the account for 365 days or the term of the account.
Annual percentage yield earned APYE reflects the total amount of dividends actually earned for the dividend or statement. As a percent of the actual average daily balance in the account, the APYE is affected by additions and withdraws during the period and is required for periodic statements only.
List the two methods of dividend calculation allowed by TIS and briefly describe how each one works
Daily balance method-a daily periodic rate is applied to the exact daily balance in the account for each day
Average daily balance method-The balance for each day is added together. This figure is divided by the number of days in the period and the periodic rate is applied to this figure
