    First National Bank's EAR is 11.68%

    First United Bank's EAR is 11.62%

    Explanation:

    Effective annual rate = (1+APR/m) ^m-1

    APR is the annual rates given in the question as 11.1% and 11.3%

    m is the number of times in the year that compounding is done, for instance, it is 12 for monthly compounding and 2 for semiannual compounding

    First National Bank's EAR = (1+11.1%/12) ^12-1=11.68%

    First United Bank's EAR = (1+11.3%/2) ^2-1=11.62%

    The EAR for First National Bank is higher
