Simple Interest
Interest: I = Prt
Accumulated amount: A = P(1 + rt)
Simple Interest - interest that is compounded on the original principal only.
Copyright (c) 2003 Brooks/Cole, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc
Ex. $800 is invested for 9 years in an account that pays 12% annual simple interest. How much interest is earned? What is the accumulated amount in the account?
P = $800, r = 12%, and t = 9 years
Interest: I = Prt
= (800)(0.12)(9)
= 864 or $864
Accumulated amount = principal + interest
= 800 + 864 = 1664
or $1664

Compound Interest
(1 ) nA P i where and r
i n mtm
A = Accumulated amount after n periods
P = Principal
r = Nominal interest rate per year
m = Number of conversion periods per year
t = Term (number of years)
Compound Interest – interest is added to the original principal and then earns interest at the same rate.

Ex. Find the accumulated amount A, if $4000 is invested at 3% for 6 years, compounded monthly.

Effective Rate of Interest

rr
m where
reff = Effective rate of interest
r = Nominal interest rate per year
m = Number of conversion periods per year
Effective Rate – the simple interest rate that would produce the same accumulated amount in 1 year as the nominal rate compounded m times per year.

Ex. Find the effective rate that corresponds to a nominal rate of 6% compounded quarterly.

AnnuityAnnuity – a sequence of payments made at regular time intervals.
Ordinary Annuity – payments made at the end of each payment period.
Simple Annuity – payment period coincides with the interest conversion period.

Ex. The Kastners borrowed $83,000 from a credit union to finance the purchase of a house. The credit union charges interest at a rate of 7.75% per year on the unpaid balance, with interest computations made at the end of each month. The Kastners have agreed to repay the loan in equal monthly installments over 30 years. How much should each payment be if the loan is to be amortized at the end of the term?
P = 83000, n = (30)(12) = 360, and 0.0775

Ex. A bank has determined that the Radlers can afford monthly house payments of at most $750. The bank charges interest at a rate of 8% per year on the unpaid balance, with interest computations made at the end of each month. If the loan is to be amortized in equal monthly installments over 15 years, what is the maximum amount that the Radlers can borrow from the bank?
R = 750, n = (15)(12) = 180, and 0.08
