Exponential Functions
If b is a positive number other than 1 (b>0, b≠1),
there is a unique function called the exponential
function with base b that is defined by
f(x)=bx for every real number x
Such function can be used to describe exponential and
logistic growth and a variety of other important
quantities.

Continuous Compounding of Interest
If P is the initial investment (the principal) and r is the interest rate (expressed as a decimal), the balance B after the interest is added will be
B=P+P r=P(1+r) dollars

Example
Suppose $1,000 is invested at an annual interest rate of 6%. Compute the balance after 10 years if the interest is compounded
a. Quarterly b. Monthly c. Daily d. Continuously
a.To compute the balance after 10 years if the interest is compounded quarterly, use the formula
with t=10, p=1,000, r=0.06, and k=4.

This value, $1,822.12, is an upper bound for the possible balance.
No matter how often interest is compounded, $1,000 invested at
an annual interest rate of 6% can not grow to more than
$1,822.12 in 10 years.
Present Value & Future Value
Present value is the interest accumulation process in reverse. Rather than adding interest to a principal to determine a sum, it is in effect subtracted from a sum to determine a principal.
The present value P of future value F with interest rate r per conversion period for n period is given by the formula
is the present value interest factor (PVIFn) (or discount factor) of n periods.
17
18
If the interest rate is i*100% per year and the interest is
compounded continuously for t years, then the present
value P for a given amount of future value F can be
calculated from
where exp(−it) is the continuous PVIF.
i = annualized interest rate,
t = number of years
m = compound periods per year
19
Present value of $1.00 when interest (i=5%) is compounded
quarterly for a year
Example
Sue is about to enter college. When she graduates 4 years from now, she wants to take a trip to Europe that she estimates will cost $5,000. How much should she invest now at 7% to have enough for the trip if interest is compounded:
a. Quarterly b. Continuously
The required future value is F=$5,000 in t=4 years with r=0.07.
a. If the compounding is quarterly, then k=4 and the present value is
b. For continuous compounding, the present value is
Thus, Sue would have to invest about $9 more if interest is compounded quarterly than if the compounding is continuous.

More Example
Suppose that you plan to buy a luxury car four years from now and that car will cost $55,000 at that time. If your bank’s savings deposit interest rate is 5% per year, what is the amount that you have to deposit now (present value) in your savings account in order to grow enough interest and with the principal to buy your dream car in the future? Assume the interest is compounded: (a) annually; (b) quarterly; (c) weekly; or (d) continuously, for a year. (e) Show your results in a table of PV calculation with separate FV, PVIF, and PV columns.

a) annually P = $55,000(1 + 0.05)−4 = $45,248.64;b) quarterly P = $55,000(1 + 0.05/4)−4∗4 = $45,086.05;c) weekly P = $55,000(1 + 0.05/52)−52∗4 = $45,034.52;d) continuously P = $55, 000e−0.05∗4 = $45,030.19;e) .
