Finding the Interest EarnedInterest can be earned in two ways:1. Some investments are sold on a
Discount Basis.–Security sold for a price lower than
redemption value.–Difference between sales price and
redemption value is the amount of interest earned.
2. Other investments offer Direct Payment.

Simple Interest—interest paid only on initial amount of deposit.
Compound Interest—interest paid at set intervals and added back to principal.
How is the interest calculated?
4-23
Copyright 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Nominal rate—the named or stated rate of interest.
If interest is compounded more frequently than once a year, the effective rate will be greater than the nominal rate of interest.
Effective rate—the annual rate of return actually earned.
4-24
Copyright 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Effective rate = Annual amount of interest earned
Amount of money invested
Example:Invest $1000 at 5% for 1 year.
4-25

If simple interest is used, there is no compounding:
Interest = Principal x Rate x Time= $1000 x .05 x 1= $50
4-26
Copyright 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
If compound interest is used and the compounding occurs semiannually—
First 6 months' interest:$1000 x .05 x 6/12 = $25.00
Second 6 months' interest: +$1025 x .05 x 6/12 = $25.63
Total annual interest = $50.63
4-27
Copyright 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
The nominal rate is 5%, the stated rate of interest.
Effective Rate = $50.63 $1000 = 0.05063 = 5.063%
The effective rate is 5.063%.
4-28

Amount of interest earned depends on:
Frequency of compounding Balance on which interest is paid Interest rate paid
How much interest will you earn?

Maintaining a Checking Account Determine services needed. Consider costs involved. Keep track of checks written, automatic
deposits, and ATM withdrawals. Don’t write checks for more than you have
in the account (i.e., don’t bounce checks!). Arrange for overdraft protection. Know how to stop a payment. Periodically reconcile your account.
