Interest is money paid for borrowed capital.

Simple Interest, I = Pin F = P + Pin F = P(1 +in) Where: I = interest P = Principal present worth n = number of interest period i = rate of interest per interest period F = accumulated amount or future amount worth Types of Simple Interest: 1. Ordinary Simple Interest based on 30 days per month or 360 days per year (also known as the bankers year) 2. Exact Simple Interest based on the exact number of days in a year, 365 days for an ordinary year and 366 days for a leap year. Note: A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4 except when it is divisible by 100 but not by 400. For example: 1996 (leap year) 1900 (not a leap year) 2000 (leap year)

Compound Interest: In calculations of compound interest, the interest for an interest period is calculated on the principal plus the total amount on interest accumulated in previous periods. Thus, compound interest means interest on top of interest. F = P(F/P, i%, n) or F = P(1+i)n P = F(1+i)-n or P =F(P/F, i%, n) Where: (F/P, i%, n) = (1+i)n = single payment compound amount factor (SPCAF) (P/F, i%, n) = (1+i)-n = single payment present worth factor (SPPWF) Rate of Interest:

a. Nominal Rate of Interest it specifies the rate of interest and a number of interest periods in one year. It is the annual interest rate ignoring the effect of any compounding. r = im or i = r/m where: i = rate of interest per interest period r = nominal interest rate m = number of compounding periods per year example: 1. The nominal rate of interest is 20% compounded quarterly, so, i=20%/4 = 5% per period, or, i=20%/yr compounded quarterly x (1 yr/4quarter) = 5% per quarter c.q.

2. 12% compounded semi-monthly, i=12%/24 = 0.5% per semi-monthly c.s.m., or, i=12% per yr x (1 yr/24 semi-monthly) = 0.5% per semi-monthly csmquarter c.q.

b. Effective Rate of Interest (ERI) is the actual rate of interest on the principal for one year. Formula: ERI = (1+i)m-1 = (1 +r/m)m-1 F=P[(1 +r/m)m] Illustration: If P1.00 is invested at a nominal rate of 10% c.q., after one year this will become, F=P(1 +r/m)m = 1(1+(0.10/4))4 = P1.1038128, then, The actual interest earned is, I = F-P = 1.1038128 1 = P0.1038128, Therefore, the actual interest rate after one year is, ERI = ieff= (P0.1038128/P1)x100% = 10.3818%, it means, F=P+I or I = F P For n=1, Pieff = P(1 +r/m)m P ERI = ieff = e = (1+r/m)m 1 or Analysis by Theory of Equivalence: F = P(1 +r/m)m F =P(1+ ieff)1

but F = F, therefore: P(1 +r/m)m = P(1+ ieff)1 ERI = ieff = e = (1+r/m)m 1 Note: For two or more nominal rates to be equivalent, their corresponding effective rates must be equal.

Equation of Value: An equation of value is obtained by setting the sum of the values on a certain comparison or focal date of one set of obligations equal to the sum of the values on the same date of another set of obligations. Discount is interest deducted in advance. D = F- P Where: D = discount P = present worth F = Future worth The rate of discount is the discount on one unit of principal for one unit of time. P = F(1+i)-1

D=FP Fd = F F(1+i)-1 d = 1 (1+i)-1 i = d / (1-d) where: d = rate of discount i = rate of interest Note: in general, D = Fdn Where: n = number of periods
