This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the nature of Business Mathematics. The scope of this module permits it to
be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
Lesson
Fractions, Decimals, Percent
1
You always encounter fractions, decimals, and percent even when you don’t
notice it. Whether you like it or not, they have been part of your daily living, and
your understanding of these concepts helps you in making better decisions in life.
For instance, you use these ideas in managing your personal finances, buying
decisions, and many more. In addition to its essence in practical life, expertise on
these concepts is necessary and foundational to more complex concepts in Math.
In this lesson, you will go back to the basics. Your mastery in these topics
will greatly help you in your next learning experience.

Fractions
Expressing fractions to decimals
There are two ways to convert fractions to decimals.
STEPS SOLUTION
Step 1: Think of a number that can The denominator is 4, so you can
be multiplied by the denominator multiply it by 25 to make the
to make it 10, 100, 1000, 10 000, denominator as a power of 10.
and so on (power of 10).
Decimals
Expressing decimals to fractions.
1. When the decimal is terminating, use the concept of place value.
4
(The place value for decimals starts with tenths, hundredths, thousandths,
and so on.)
Examples:
a. Convert 0.8 to fraction.
Solution: 0.8 is read as “8 tenths”
8 4
0.8 = =
10 5
Examples:
a. Write 0.3333… to fraction. ( 0.333… can also be rewritten as 0. 3̅ )
STEPS SOLUTIONS
̅
Let x = 0. 3 (first equation) The decimal has one repeating
decimal place so multiply both
sides by 10.
Percent
Percent means “per hundred.” It demonstrates a fraction whose denominator is
100.
5
Wondering about the difference between “percent” and “percentage”? According
to Peterson (2008), the only difference between these two words depends on how
you used them. Percentage speaks of the concept whereas percent serves as a unit.
For example, you do not say “50 percentage.” Instead, you say “50% or 50 percent.”
The word percentage does not come with a number while percent always come with
a number.
Example: The percentage of ABM students who passed in the previous semester
was 95%.
Examples:
1. 0.125 = 12.5% 2. 0.08 = 8% 3. 1.3 = 130%
Examples:
1. 64% = 0.64 2. 125% = 1.25 3. 1.5% = 0.015
Examples:
1 5 9
1. = 0.2 = 20% 2. = 0.625 = 62.5% 3. = 1.8 = 180%

1. Addition/Subtraction of Fractions
a. Similar Fractions (Fractions with the same denominator)
𝑎 𝑏 𝑎+𝑏
➢ Rule: + = ,𝑐≠0
𝑐 𝑐 𝑐
1 6 7
Example: + = When fractions are similar, just
12 12 12
add/subtract the numerators and copy
the denominator.
1 3
Example: +
4 10
Step Solution
Find the LCM of 4 and 10 4 = 2⋅2
10 = 2 ⋅ 5
𝐿𝐶𝑀 = 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 5 = 20
Use the LCM in converting
fractions to similar fractions, 1 3 5+6

3 1 3 10 30 15
Example: ÷ = ⋅ = =
4 10 4 1 4 2
B. Operations on Decimals
1. Addition/Subtraction of Decimals
Steps: Align the decimal points. Then add/subtract as if you are adding or
subtracting whole numbers. Finally, bring down the decimal point.
Example 1: Add 115.25, 30 and 4.27.
115.25
10
+ 30.00 Whole number has its decimal points after the ones digit
place.
4.27
149.52
Example 2: Subtract 14.75 from 25.
Solution: Take note of the word “from.”
25.00
- 14.75
10.25
2. Multiplication of Decimals
Steps: Multiply the decimals as if you are multiplying whole numbers. The
total number of decimal places of the factors is also the number of decimal
places in the product.
Solution:
2.256 (3 decimal places)
× 1.8 (1 decimal place)
18048
+ 2256_
4.0608 (4 decimal places)
3. Division of Decimals
There are three cases in dividing decimals.
Case 1: Both the divisor and dividend are whole numbers, but the
quotient has a fractional part
➢ In this case, divide the decimals just like in whole numbers, then put
the decimal point directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
Example: 15 ÷ 4.
Solution:
3.75
̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
4 )15.00
- 12
30
- 28
20
- 20

Case 2: The divisor is a whole number and the dividend has a fractional
part
➢ Put the decimal point of the quotient directly above the decimal point
in the dividend.
Example: 37.2 ÷ 6
Solution:
6.2
11
̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
6 )37.2
-36
12
- 12
0
Case 3: The divisor has a fractional part.
➢ Multiply both the divisor and the dividend by an appropriate multiple
of 10 to make the divisor a whole number, then apply Case 2.
Steps Solution
The divisor is 0.8. 0.8 (10) = 8
To make it a whole number,
multiply it by 10. Multiply also 4.64 (10) = 46.4
the dividend by 4.64.
As a Business Math student, you have to be familiar with all the problems that may
involve fractions, decimals, and percent. Before you proceed to the next example,
you have to be familiar with the three quantities you will be working with:
12
➢ Percentage (or amount) – is the portion of the whole being compared to the
base.
➢ Rate (or percent) – is the ratio of the percentage to base. It is written as
percent.
To solve for the unknown, you just have to remember this triangle.
➢ P=R*B
𝑃
➢ B= 𝐵
𝑃
➢ R= 𝐵
Given Solution
P = 50
R = 25% or 0.25 B=
𝑃

Solving word problems require reading comprehension. Even if you are good
in mathematical concepts, you can still go wrong if you do not understand the
problems well. In this module, you will encounter several word problems, so read
everything carefully.

2 4
chicken, and 3 L of cooking oil. The following is the list of prices:
14
3
For chicken : (210) = 0.75 (210) = 157.50
4
For cooking oil : 3 (25.75) = 77.25
Total : 980 + 157.50 + 77.25 = 1,214.75
Note: Always indicate the peso sign at the final answer if it pertains to money.
Sample Problem 2: Your parents instructed you to call your grandma in the
province. If your current load balance is Php 145.00 and a call would cost you Php
6.50 per minute (assuming that you are not registered to any call and text promo),
how many minutes will you be able to talk with your grandma?

Lesson
Ratio and Proportion
3
Do you know that the terms “ratio” and “fraction” are used interchangeably?
That is because problems involving fraction can also be considered as ratio
problems too. This means that just like fractions, you also encounter ratios in real-
life. In this lesson, you will learn more about this topic. You will notice that the way
you handle fraction is also the same as the way you handle ratio.
Comparing things happens every day and everywhere. When you go to the
market, you make comparisons before buying a product. At school, you also make
comparisons when you check your score over a total number of items. Even in the
comfort of your house, you make comparisons when you decide how much rice will
you cook with the number of people who will eat. Even if you are not aware of it,
ratio and proportion apply to your daily living.
A. Ratio
The comparison of two quantities by division is called ratio, and it can be written
in two ways:
Example 2: There are 15 boys and 10 girls in a classroom. What is the ratio of girls
to boys?
Solution:
• Note that you are asked for the ratio of girls to boys.
19
10
• There are 10 girls and 15 boys or .

Before solving any problems involving ratio, make sure that both quantities
or terms are expressed in the same unit of measure. Look at the next examples.
Will it also be the same if instead of converting kilometers to meters, you choose to
convert meters to kilometers? Let’s see.
Steps Solution
Convert 1500 meters to kilometers. 1500 𝑚 = 1000 𝑚

B. Rate
Rate is a ratio. Meaning, it also compares two quantities. However, the term
“rate” is used to compare quantities of different units. When the rate has a
denominator of 1, it is called a unit rate.
Example 2: Give the unit rate when a pump moves 50 liters in 4 minutes.
50 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 12.5 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠
= 𝑜𝑟 12.5 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠/𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒
4 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑠 1 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒
C. Proportion
Proportion is a statement that the two ratios are equal. According to the
fundamental property of proportions, the two given ratios are equal when the
product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes. In symbols,
𝑎 𝑐
𝑖𝑓 = , 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐
𝑏 𝑑
where a is the first term, b is the second term, c is the third term, and d is
the fourth term. a and d are called the extremes and b and c are called the means.
Solution:
First Term = 2 Second Term = 5 Third Term = 10 Fourth Term = 25

The relationship of variables can be either they are directly related, inversely related
or partitively related. Recognizing the type of variation will help you solve different
problems involving ratio and proportion.
23
Three Types of Proportion
1. Direct Proportion
The two variables are both increasing or both decreasing at the same rate.
Example:
If you work 15 hours, you earn Php 600. How much will you earn if you work
60 hours?
➢ Note that as the number of hours you work increases; the amount you
earn also increases. This is a type of direct proportion.
2. Inverse Proportion
The proportion is inverse if as one quantity increases, the other quantity
decreases at the same rate, and vice versa.
Example:
If 3 men can paint a wall in 1 day, how long will 5 men do it?
3. Partitive Proportion
A whole is divided into several parts given a ratio.
Examples:
Fifty liters of water is transferred into 3 jars in the ratio 2:3:4. How much
water is in each jar?

Activity: The Secret Ingredient!
Maria is problematic because her profit in bread and pastry business is declining
due to the competition in the market. Suddenly, she remembered that when she
was a child, her grandma was telling her about a secret ingredient in making a cake.
However, this was kept inside a box with a code.

MODULE 4
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the nature of Business Mathematics. The scope of this module permits
it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of learners. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course.
To solve any proportion problems, it would be easier if you write the given in
the form of a mathematical statement. Since it is a proportion, remember to set up
the two ratios in order. Meaning, each term of the first ratio corresponds to each
term of the second ratio.
27
A. Direct Proportion
Example 1: If you work 15 hours, you earn Php 600. How much will you earn if you
work 60 hours?
➢ The first set of ratio is 15 hours of work to Php 600.
➢ The second ratio is 60 hours of work to n pesos.
You may set the proportion in any or the vice versa of the following ways:
Steps Solution
1. Identify the type of proportion. It is a direct proportion because more
hours of work means more earnings.
x = 2400
4. Write a concluding statement. You will earn Php 2400 for 60 hours of
work.
Example 2: Three box of candies cost Php 195. How much do 8 boxes of candies
cost?
Steps Solution
1. Identify the type of proportion. It is a direct proportion because more
boxes of candies means higher cost.
2. Translate to a proportion statement. 3 8
=x
195
3. For a direct proportion, simply use 3x = 1560
the cross-product method.
3𝑥 1500
=
3 3
x = 520
4. Write a concluding statement. Eight boxes cost Php 520.00.
28
B. Inverse Proportion
Example 1: A supply of food is enough to feed 10 persons for 2 days. If 30 more
people join the camp, how long will the food supply last?
If you solve this using the method you used in direct proportion,
10 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑠 40 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑠 10 40
= or = 10x = 80 x=8
2 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑥 2 𝑥
What?! How come that when there are 10 people, the supply is enough for
2 days, but if there are 40 people, this supply is enough for 8 days?
Let us analyze the problem. Let us assume that the food supply is 10-kg rice.
What do you think will happen with this supply if 30 more people will be added to
10 people? Will it still be enough in two days? We can see in this problem that as
the number of people increases, the number of consumption days decreases.
Therefore, this is an inverse proportion.
So, if the method you use in direct proportion will not work in this type of
proportion, what will you do to solve this?
Steps Solution
1. Identify the type of proportion. It is an inverse proportion because as
the number of people increases, the
number of consumption days
decreases.
2. Translate to a proportion statement. Since it is an inverse proportion, we will
not use the cross-product method.
(10)(2) = (40)(n)
3. Solve for n.
10(2) = 40n or 40n = 20
40𝑛 20
=
40 40
1
n=
2
4. Write a concluding statement. If there are 40 persons, it will only take
half day to consume the food supply.
Example 2: If 3 men can paint a room in 8 days, then how many men are needed to
finish the same job in 4 days?
Steps Solution
1. Identify the type of proportion. It is an inverse proportion because as
the number of people increases, the

Pricing plays a vital role in increasing your business’ profits. Hence, a poor
pricing strategy leads to hurting your sales drastically. This lesson will help you
learn the different terms needed in setting the price.
Some people think that the terms “cost price” and “selling price” are
synonyms. However, they are not the same in context. Cost price is the amount a
business spends to produce goods or services before adding a profit. It includes the
price of the raw materials used in creating a product. Usually, it is on a per-unit
basis. Operating cost is the expense relative to the production and actual selling
of a product. It comprises the salaries, rental fees, transportation, and other
incidental payments; it does not include the amount incurred for the raw materials.
These two terms (cost price and operating cost) are necessary for determining the
selling price – the amount a customer is willing to pay for the product or service
offered by the business. In determining the price, a business owner must set a target
profit after the sale. Thus, the formula to compute the selling price is:
where: S = Selling Price
C = Cost Price
S=C+E+P
E = Operating Cost/Expense
P = Profit
33
The amount added to the cost price is called markup. It is the difference
between the selling price and the cost price, and it is computed based on the cost.
To determine the markup, use the formula:
MU = S – C where: MU = Markup
S = Selling Price
or
C = Cost Price
MU = E + P E = Operating Cost/Expense
P = Profit
Example: Jenny would like to sell pad papers she purchased from a mall. The cost
of pad paper is Php 12.00 each. The operating cost is set at 15% of the cost and she
would like to have a 25% profit on the cost of each item.
a. Determine the markup price for each pad paper.
b. Help Jenny compute the selling price for each pad paper.
Solution:
a. Determine the markup price for each pad paper.
Step Solution
Take note that markup is the sum of the MU = E + P
operating expense and profit. MU = 15% of C + 25% of C
MU = 0.15(12) + 0.25(12)
MU = 1.8 + 3
MU = Php 4.80
Therefore, the markup for each pad paper is Php 4.80.
b. Help Jenny compute the selling price for each pad paper.
Step Solution
The formula S = C + E + P can also be S = C + MU
transformed to S = C + MU. S = 12 + 4.80
S = Php 16.80
Therefore, the selling price for each pad paper is Php 16.80.
Now, some products increase their price during peak seasons because the
demand for them rises. For instance, the price for red roses spikes during February
14. The increase on top of the selling price when there is seasonal demand for the
product or an undersupply of the product due to calamity is known as the mark on.
Example: The cost per unit of a flower is Php 50.00. The owner added a 45% markup
for sale. However, a mark on of 25% of the regular selling price is added on it during
peak seasons.
a. How much is the regular selling price (S)?
b. How much is the selling price during peak seasons (PS)?
34
Solution:
a. How much is the regular selling price (S)?
Steps Solution
1. Take note that markup is computed MU = 45% of the cost price
based on the cost price. MU = .45 (50)
MU = Php 22.50
2. Compute the selling price using the S = C + MU
available data. S = 50 + 22.50
S = Php 72.50
Therefore, the regular selling price of a flower is Php 72.50.
In some cases, businesses cut down prices to generate more sales or clear
inventory. It happens when they sell the product at a discounted price or sale price.
This decrease in the selling price is called markdown. Unlike markup, markdown is
computed based on the selling price. To calculate, subtract the discounted price
from the regular selling price. In symbols,
where: MD = Markdown
S = Selling Price
MD = S - SP
SP = Sale Price/Discounted Price
Example: Enzo had the chance to buy a branded shirt regularly prices at Php 990.00
for only Php 693.00.
a. What was the amount of the markdown?
b. What was the rate of the markdown?
Solution:
a. What was the amount of the markdown?
Steps Solution
Remember that markdown is the MD = S – SP
difference between the regular selling MD = 990 – 693
price and the discounted/sale price. MD = Php 297.00
35
b. What was the rate of the markdown?
Steps Solution
Take note that markdown is computed 𝑀𝐷𝑟 =
𝑀𝐷
∗ 100
𝑆
based on the selling price. 297
𝑀𝐷𝑟 = ∗ 100
990
MDr = 0.3 * 100
MDr = 30%
This means that markdown rate is 30%.
Rose bought boxes of chocolates for Php 85.00 each. She decided to impose
a markup rate of 40% on each box before selling it to the market. During holidays,
a mark-on of 15% of the regular selling price is added on. One day during a regular
season, she found out that the chocolates are about to expire. To dispose of the
products immediately, she decided to lower the price by Php 29.75.
1. A store owner used a markup rate of 50%. How much is the markup if the item
costs the owner Php 300.00?
2. During a sale, a shirt regularly priced at Php 500.00 was sold at a 15%
markdown. How much was the markdown?
36
3. Many people prefer to eat fish over pork and beef during a special season.
Because of the high demand, fish vendors increase the price by 35% of the selling
price. How much is the new selling price if the regular selling price is Php 110.00
per kilo?
MODULE 6
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the nature of Business Mathematics. The scope of this module permits
it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of learners. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course.
The module is divided into two lessons, namely:
• Lesson 6.1 – Markup and Margin
• Lesson 6.2 – Trade Discounts
Lesson
Markup and Margin
6.1
The aim of any business is to succeed in its chosen field. However, success
in business does not only mean having a high revenue or gross sales. It is also about
how much is the profit it gained from selling its products or services. In this lesson,
you will know some ways how businesses compute the rate of gross profit – the
amount left when you subtract the cost of goods sold from the revenue or sales.
Cost of goods sold (COGS) is the direct expenses incurred in manufacturing a
product or delivering a service whereas the revenue (or sales) is the income a
company earns solely from selling the products or services.
37
Markup and margin have commonalities. Both margin and markup tell you
the difference between the selling price and COGS, but they differ on perspectives.
Recall that markup is the amount you added to the cost price before selling it to the
consumers. It tells you about the relationship between your selling price and the
amount it costs you to manufacture a product or provide a service. On the other
hand, margin (or gross margin) is the amount you gain on making a sale or service.
It shows you the relationship between sales and profits. Hence, it reveals more
precise data about your actual earnings. Thus, the higher the markup, the higher
the selling price. The higher the margin, the higher the profits.
Markup Margin

Cost of Goods Sold Revenue
Example: MXY Company sells laptops worth ₱31,999 each. Each unit costs 85% of
its selling price. What are the gross profit of the product, the rates of markup rate
and margin?
Solution:
Steps Solution
Identify the given. S = ₱31,999.00
C = 85% of S
C = 0.85 (31,999)
C = ₱27,199.15
Find the gross profit. GP = 31,999 – 27,199.15
GP = ₱4,799.85
Calculate the rate of markup. Gross profit

Lesson
Trade Discounts
6.2
Suppliers make different strategies to attract people to patronize their
products or services. One of their tactics is to offer discounts to customers. It is to
encourage more resellers and to keep their customers loyal to them. In this lesson,
you will learn how to compute trade discounts and discount series.
Suppliers always set a suggested retail price for their products. It is called
the list price. However, they usually give a special discount to those people involved
in bringing these to the customers. Those people are called the middlemen, and the
discount they receive is known as a trade discount. This price reduction will allow
the middlemen to gain a profit in selling the products.
Formula Description
TD = Trade Discount
TD = TDR (S) TDR = Trade Discount Rate
S = Selling Price
Example: Your regular pork supplier gives you a 10% discount on your weekly
purchases. How much is the trade discount if the price of pork per kilo is ₱380.00
and you are planning to buy 7 kilograms next week?
39
Solution:
Step Solution
1. Compute the trade discount per TD = TDR (S)
unit. TD = .10(380)
TD = ₱38.00 per kilo
2. Multiply the computed trade ₱38.00 (7) = ₱266.00
discount per kilo by 7.
Therefore, you will receive a total trade discount of ₱266.00.
Suppose that the required minimum order is 1000 boxes of the facemask.
How much will you pay in cash if you buy 1,200 boxes that cost ₱35.00 each?
Assume that you will do the transaction during morning hours.
Solution:
Step 2: Find the second discount (D2). Discount Discount Complement (𝐶𝑟 )
₱33,600 (.10) = ₱3,360 (Dr) 100% - Dr
So, the new price to pay is ₱30,240. 20% 80%
10% 90%
Step 3: Find the third discount (D3). 10% 90%
₱30,240 (.10) = ₱3,024
SER = 1 – [(𝐶𝑟1 )( 𝐶𝑟2 )]
Finally, the net price to pay is ₱27,216. SER = 1 – [(.80)(.90)(.90)]
SER = 1 – .648
40
SER = 0.352 or 35.2%

Lesson
Profit and Loss
7
In the previous module, you have learned that people in the business sector
offer discounts to attract and keep more customers. They do this to make more
sales and increase their profit. But how to know if the company is making a profit?
In this lesson, you will learn how to determine whether a business is having a profit
or not.
Profit is the amount left when you subtract all the expenses from the
revenue (or sales). We have different types of profit:
Sales – Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit
Gross Profit – Expenses (Operational) = Net Profit
There are instances that when you subtract the expenses from the sale, the
result is a negative number. It occurs when the expenses exceed the revenue (or
sales). In this case, it is a loss for the company. In other words, there is a profit if
the difference between the sales and expenses is positive. If it is negative, then it is
a loss.
Example: Phoebe sells dolls. The labor, material, packaging, and shipping cost her
₱500 per doll. Suppose that the total expenses incurred to manufacture the dolls
are ₱1,250,000, and the dolls are sold for ₱1,000 each.
a. How much is the revenue if 2,500 pieces of dolls are sold?
b. If she was able to sell only 1,200 pieces of the doll, was it a loss or a profit?
c. What sales volume is necessary for Phoebe to break even?
Solution:
a. How much is the revenue if 2,500 pieces of dolls are sold?
Step Solution
1. Identify the given. Quantity = 2,500 pieces
Selling Price = ₱1,000
2. Compute the revenue. R = ₱1,000 (2,500)
R = ₱2,500,000
42
b. If she was able to sell only 1,200 pieces of doll, was it a loss or a profit?
Step Solution
1. Compute the revenue for 1,200 R = ₱1,000 (1,200)
pieces of dolls. R = ₱1,200,000
2. Subtract the expenses from the R – E = Profit/Loss
revenue. ₱1,200,000 - ₱1,250,000 = -₱50,000
Since the result is a negative number, then it is a loss. It means that
Phoebe will lose ₱50,000 if she will only be able to sell 1,200 pieces of
dolls.
43
Activity: Profit or Loss?
Directions: Find the break-even point (the minimum number of items needed to be
sold) to avoid losses.

Lesson Mortgage and
8 Amortization
If you want to buy a property but you do not have enough money to pay it off
in full, banks or other lending institutions offer different types of loans to help you.
In return, they will charge you an amount, called the interest, for using their
money. In this lesson, you will learn more about how it works in mortgage.
Mortgage (pronounced with silent T) is a type of loan you use to buy real
estate properties. For instance, if you want to buy a house and lot but your savings
is not enough to pay the property in full, you may apply a mortgage from a bank or
any lending institutions. Of course, these institutions will secure a collateral from
you. Collateral is a property that the lenders will take from you just in case you
cannot pay them anymore for some reasons. Oftentimes, the collateral is the
property you acquired using the funds from the mortgage. Most of the time, the
lender will also require you to pay for a down payment. Note that the higher the
down payment, the better. Why? Because it will decrease the amount of mortgage
you will avail from the lender. Note that these lenders will charge you an interest
only for the amount you loan from them. Let us say that you give a 40% down
payment. It means that the remaining amount or the mortgage loan will just be
60% of the total contract price (TCP). Hence, only 60% of the TCP will be subject for
interest.
Example 1: You are planning to buy a house and lot from a real estate company
worth ₱2,000,000. However, your savings is not enough to fully paid the property,
so you applied for a mortgage from a bank. The bank required you to make a 20%
down payment.
a. How much is the down payment?
b. How much is the mortgage loan?
Step Solution
1. Identify the given TCP = ₱2,000,000
Down payment = 20% of the TCP
2. Calculate the amount of down Down payment = TCP (down payment %)
payment. Down payment = 2,000,000 (.20)
Down payment = ₱ 400,000.00
3. Compute the mortgage loan. Mortgage Loan = TCP – Down Payment
Mortgage Loan = 2,000,000 – 400,000
Mortgage Loan = ₱1,600,000.00
Therefore, the required down payment is ₱400,000.00 and the mortgage loan is
₱1,600,000.00.
45
In the example above, the amount left after you give your down payment is
₱1,600,000.00. It means that you will be paying this amount to the lender on an
installment basis, usually a series of fixed payments, called amortization. In this
case, the lender will spread out the repayment of loan over an agreed period of time
referred to as the term of the loan. Part of the amortization you pay goes to the
principal, and a portion of it goes to the interest. Principal refers to the original
amount you borrowed from the lender. To determine the monthly amortization, use
the formula:
where: A = monthly amortization
𝑖𝑃(1 + 𝑖) 𝑛 P = principal
𝐴= 𝑛 i = monthly interest rate
(1 + 𝑖) − 1
n = total number of payments
Example 2: Suppose that you will pay the mortgage loan for 25 years. How many
months will it take you to fully pay your loan?
Solution:
Term of the Loan = 25 years
25 years (12 months per year) = 300 monthly payments
Therefore, the total number of payments to fully pay the loan is 300 months.
Example 3: Using the previous example, the mortgage loan of ₱1,600,000 is subject
for a 7.5% annual interest rate and you need to pay this for 25 years.
a. How much is the monthly payment?
b. How much is the interest incurred for 25 years?
Step Solution
1. Identify the given. P = ₱1,600,000
n = 300
annual interest rate = 7.5% or 0.075
i = .075/12 = .00625
2. Solve using the formula for monthly 𝐴 = 𝑖𝑃(1+𝑖)𝑛
(1+𝑖)𝑛 −1
amortization.
(.00625)(1,600,000)(1+.00625)300
𝐴= 300
(1+.00625) −1
(10,000)(1.00625)300
𝐴=
(1.00625)300 −1
(10,000)(1.00625)300
𝐴=
(1.00625)300 −1
(10,000)(6.4829)
𝐴=
6.4829−1
64829
𝐴= = 11,823.85
5.4829
46
Total Interest = ₱3,547,155.00 -
₱1,600,000.00
Total Interest = ₱1,947,155.00
It means that the total interest incurred for 25 years is ₱1,947,155.00.
Directions: You bought a house and lot from a real estate company in the
Philippines. The total contract price of your chosen property is ₱2,000,000, and you
are required to pay a 20% spot down payment. Suppose you applied for a mortgage
from a bank that offers a 7.5% annual interest rate to pay off the remaining amount,
and you are planning to pay the loan for 20 years. Find out the following:
Scenario: The total contract price of a house and lot is ₱2,500,000.00. You paid a
20% spot down payment, and to pay the remaining 80%, you applied for a mortgage
from a lending institution that offers an 8.1% annual interest rate. Compute the
monthly amortization and the total interest accumulated based on the term
indicated in the first column.

standard sequence of the course.
Lesson
Commissions
9
There are many reasons why people work. One of these is to make money.
Some earn this by establishing their own business, while some by receiving
compensations for their service through a salary, a wage, or an incentive and/or
commission. The latter will be the topic of this module. You will find out the different
types of commissions and how it is being computed.
48
Compensations for a person’s service are not always fixed. Sometimes, people
get paid based on the percentage of selling price of the products or goods they sell.
The fee that these people are receiving is called a commission. This serves as a
payment in exchange for a person’s service in either managing or completing a sale.
Examples of commission-based businesses are real-estate marketing projects, car
dealership, and direct selling companies. Whenever a salesperson closed a deal, he
or she will get a commission from it.
Example: A direct seller of skin care products was able to sell 25 bottles of whitening
lotions amounting to Php 75.00 per piece. How much was she earning if the
company gave her a 25% commission rate for the products she sold?
Solution:
Each bottle of lotion costs Php 75.00. She was able to sell 25 bottles of it.
Steps Solutions
Find the total amount of sold products. 25(Php 75) = Php1875
Express the rate to decimal form. Express 25% to decimal: 0.25
Multiply the total amount by the Php 1875 (0.25) =Php 468.75
commission rate.
State the final answer. The direct seller received Php 468.75 as
commission for her service to the
company.
Types of Commission
Generally, there are three types of commission.
1. Straight Commission
This type of commission is also known as the revenue commission
because the fee is only based on the percentage of sales. Meaning, the
employee receives no fixed salary because everything depends on her
performance to sell products. It is advantageous if the person is selling
high-cost items.
Example:
49
Jen receives a 25% commission on the beauty products she sells. If she
sells a lotion for Php 350, 2 whitening soaps for Php 65 each, and a set
of makeup for Php 975, how much does she make in commission?
Solution:
Steps Solutions
Find the total amount of sold =Php 350 + 2(Php 65) + Php 975
products. =Php 1455
Express the rate to decimal form. Express 25% to decimal: 0.25
Multiply the total amount by the Php 1455 (0.25) =Php 363.75
commission rate.
State the final answer. Jen will receive Php 363.75 as
commission for her service to the
company.
Steps Solutions
Subtract Php 15,000 from the =Php 28,000 – Php 15,000
amount of sold products. =Php 13,000
Multiply the result by the Express 12% to decimal: 0.12
commission rate. Php 13,000 (0.12) = Php 1,560
Add the commission to the salary. Php 2,500 + Php 1,560 = Php 4,060
State the final answer. Enzo will receive Php 4,060.00 for
that week.
3. Graduated Commission
This type of commission has a step-up fee structure because the
commission varies depending on how much sales are made. Whenever a
salesperson achieves a sales milestone, the commission rate gets higher.
Example:
A company offers the following commission structure:
50
5% on the first Php 15,000 sold
10% on the next Php 20,000 sold
15% on all sales beyond Php 35,000
How much is the gross pay if the salesperson sells Php 75,000?
Steps Solutions
Compute the first commission. Php 15,000 (.05) = Php 750
Remember to express the rate to
decimal form.
Compute the second commission. Php 20,000 (.1) = Php 2,000
Compute the third commission. All sales beyond Php 35,000 mean
all sales above Php 35,000.
Add all the commissions. Php 750 + Php 2,000 + Php 6,750
=Php 9,500.00
State the final answer. The salesperson will receive a gross
pay Php 9,500.
Example:
Jen is a salesperson at XYZ Computer Store. She gets a 6.1% commission
for every cash purchase of a laptop. In her first month of work, she was able
to sell five laptops that were paid cash at Php 36,000 each. How much was
her total commission for such sales?
Solution:
Steps Solutions
Find the total amount of sold = 5 (Php 36,000)
products. = Php 180,000
Multiply the commission rate by 6.1% is 0.061 in decimal form.
the total amount of sold products.
= Php 180,000 (0.061)
= Php 10,980
State the final answer. Jen received a Php 10,980
commission for all the cash
purchase of laptop.
51
2. Commission on Installment Basis
In some cases, customers opt to pay for the purchased item on an
installment basis.
Example:
Dolfo is a salesperson at XYZ Computer Store. He was able to sell five laptops
that cost Php 36,000 each. The promo is that the customer may pay the
amount in six (6) months wherein the total price is equally divided into six
equal monthly installments with 0% interest. Dolfo gets a 2% commission on
the first month of payment, and it decreases by 0.30% every month
thereafter. The commission is computed based on the outstanding balance
for the month. How much will be his total commission at the end of the
installment period?
Solution:
Since the commission varies every month for six months, we must find out
the commission he received for each month.
52
C. Down Payment
A down payment is an initial payment you give when you buy something
pricey or expensive. This payment is deducted from the purchase price. You
minimize the remaining balance to the company when you provide a down payment.
The higher the down payment, the lower the remaining balance is. For example,
when you buy a house in the future and you make a 20% down payment, then all
you need to loan is 80% of the total price. When you give a 60% down payment,
then your remaining balance is just 40% of the purchase price. Most of the time,
this remaining balance is subject to interest.
Example:
A customer wants to buy a car amounting to Php 1,100,000. The agreement with
the company is that the customer should submit all the requirements with a down
payment before taking home the car. How much are the down payment and the
remaining balance if the customer will give a 30% down payment?
Solution:
Steps Solutions
Compute the down payment first. The customer gives a 30% down
payment. Just multiply the price by
30% or 0.3.
Book balance is a banking term that refers to the actual money accessible
for a person or a company to use. It is “a measure of what the bank has on hand
before adding or subtracting regulatory obligations and items that will soon appear
on its books.” (Paredes et al., 2016)
Example:
53
Your bank passbook currently has Php 50,000. This day, a client deposited a check
amounting to Php 15,000 in your bank account. Because of this, the reflected
amount in your bank passbook becomes Php 65,000. However, you cannot
withdraw the whole amount of Php 65,000 today because the deposited check has
not cleared yet. Your actual money in the bank (which is the gross balance) is only
Php 50,000 because the check has not been cleared yet.
Some clients fail to pay loans on time. This is now where the term “current
increased balance” comes in. This term is used to describe the total amount a client
needs to pay that includes the interests or penalties earned by unpaid loan balance
that is supposed to be paid but were not able to make it on time.
Example:
The total current amount due from a purchase made using a credit card is Php
55,286.50. Based on the agreement, the minimum required payment is 7.5% of the
total amount due. If the client pays only the minimum required payment, a charge
of 3% of the remaining balance will be carried on to the next bill. If there are no
purchases made for the next three months and a charge of 3% is added every billing
period, what is the required monthly bill for the next three months?
Solution:
Time Minimum
(month) Total Amount Due for the Month Required Payment
for the Month
0 55,286.50 0.075 (55,286.50)
= 4,146.49
1 = (55,286.50 – 4,146.49) + 0.075 (52,674.21)
0.03 (55,286.50 – 4,146.49) = 3,950.57
= 51,140.01 + .03(51,140.01)
= 1.03(51,140.01)
= 52,674.21
2 =1.03(52,674.01 – 3950.57) 0.075 (50,185.35)
=1.03(48,723.61) = 3,763.90
=50,185.35
3 =1.03(50,185.35 – 3763.90) 0.075 (47,814.09)
=1.03(46,421.45) =3,586.06
=47,814.09
54
Based on the table, you will see that the client paid Php 11,300.53 for the
next three months. However, if you will look at the second column, only Php
7,472.41 has been deducted from the original debt of Php 55,286.50. It shows that
more payment goes to interest fees rather than to the sum of the actual debt every
time a client is paying only the required minimum payment. The highlighted amount
in the second column is the current increased balance for each month.
5. Lois sold eight television sets that cost Php 45,000 each in a week.
Option A: Receiving a 7.5% commission on all the sales
Option B: Receiving a Php 3,000 weekly salary plus a 5% commission on all sales
55
Instructions: Read the problem carefully. Then, complete the table and answer the
questions below.
A client made a purchase using her credit card. The total amount due at the
month’s cut-off date is Php 70,548.75. The minimum required payment is 6.6% of
the total amount due. As stated in the agreement form, if the client pays only the
minimum required payment, a financing charge of 4.5% of the remaining balance
will be carried on every billing period. If there are no credit bill transactions for the
next five months and only the minimum required payment is paid, show the total
amount due for each of the five months.
2. How much of the payment goes to the payment of the actual debt?

MODULE 10
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the nature of Business Mathematics. The scope of this module permits
it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of learners. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course.
This module targets the following learning competency:
Solve problems involving interests and commissions (ABM_BM11BS-IIb-14).
It is undeniable that people need money to buy necessities in life. This is one
of the reasons why many people work hard just to earn it. However, it will only come
to waste if the person using it does not know how to manage it well. Thus, making
wise financial decisions is essential. You need to weigh things before entering in to
any contract or agreement.
Interest and commissions deal with money. To make right decisions, you need
to know how to compute and solve problems related to these.
57
Recall the formula for simple interest:
Knowing the basic concepts in fraction, decimal, and percent is necessary for
dealing with problems involving interest and commissions.
Example 1:
A lending company offers a simple interest rate of 7.25% per annum. How much is
the interest in three years if a client loan Php250,000 for business purposes?
Solution:
Steps Solutions
Identify the given. P = Php250,000
R = 7.25% or 0.0725 per year
T = 3 years
*simple interest
(Note that R and T are both expressed in
years.)
Solve for the interest in three years. I = PRT
I = (250,000) (.0725)(3)
I = 54,375
State the final answer. The interest in three years when a client
loans Php250,000 is Php54,375.
Example 2: Rose invested Php35,000 in a business with an agreement that she will
earn a 10% simple interest per year. How much does she earn in 9 months?
Solution:
58
Steps Solutions
Identify the given. P = Php35,000
R = 10% or 0.10 per year
T = 9 months
*simple interest
(Note that R and T are not of the same
unit. To express months in terms of
years, you have to divide 9 by the total
number of months in a year.)
Solve for the interest in three years. I = PRT

I = (35,000)(.10)ቀ ቁ
12
I = 2,625
State the final answer. Rose earns Php2,625 in 9 months.
Example 3: Enzo works in a company that offers a 15% commission for every sold
item. In one month, he was able to sell items worth Php358,500. He then decided
to invest the commission he received to a lending company that offers a 2.75%
simple interest per annum. If he decided to withdraw all the amounts in nine (9)
months, how much is the total money he received?
Solution:
Steps Solutions
Identify the given. Commission Rate = 15%
Total Sales = Php358,000
Solve for the commission earned. C = 0.15(358,000)
C = 53,700
Enzo invested this to a business. I = PRT
Compute the interest earned in 9 I = 53700(.0275)( 9 )

Phoebe is a supplier agent. Every month, she receives Php12,000 plus a 15%
commission on all her sales above Php150,000. Her usual monthly sales range from
Php250,000 to Php350,000 because she’s good at marketing the products. For some
reason, her sales per month never gets below Php250,000 and never gets higher
than Php350,000. One day, another supplier of the same business as her current
supplier came to her with a 12% commission rate offered. If you were Phoebe and
you are after a higher compensation, which of the two suppliers will you choose:
the current or the new one? Explain.

MODULE 11
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the nature of Business Mathematics. The scope of this module permits
it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of learners. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course.
61
This module targets the following learning competencies:
1. Define salary, wage, income, benefits (ABM_BM11SW-IIc-1).
2. Compute gross and net earnings (ABM_BM11SW-IId2).
Lesson
Salaries and Wages
11
A business will not operate without a workforce. It may consist of one (the
owner) or more people working together to achieve a common goal. In return, these
people have the right to receive compensation for the time and service they employ
in a company or business entity. In this module, you will identify different ways of
how these people are being compensated. You will also study how to compute their
earnings.
There are varied ways of compensating for a service. One of these is by giving
salaries and wages. Salary is a regular payment quoted either monthly or annually.
It is fixed and does not change regardless of the number of hours an individual
worked for the company. Meaning there is no extra pay if they work beyond their
working hours. Those who receive a salary as a form of compensation are the salary
earners. On the other hand, those who receive wages are called wage earners. In
contrast to salary, the wage is calculated based on the number of hours or days an
employee worked. Thus, working for extra hours means receiving extra payment.
Examples:
62
➢ The daily wage of a salary earner ➢ The compensation of a wage
depends on a fixed amount per earner in a month depends on
month. In this example, the Php the number of hours or days he
30,000 earning will not change or she worked in a company. In
whether there are 28 days or 30 the example, if the tutor coaches
days in a month. If there are 28 days a child for 40 hours in a month,
in a month, the daily wage is Php then her pay in a month for that
1,071.43. If there are 30 days, then job would be Php6,000. If she
the daily wage becomes Php tutors for 45 hours, then her
1,000. compensation for that month
would be Php6,750.
Again, an employee is a salary earner if his or her compensation is not based
on an hourly rate but on a monthly or annual rate. Conversely, an employee is a
wage earner if his or her earnings are computed based on the number of hours or
days he or she worked in a company. Hence, when you calculate the daily or hourly
rate of an employee, the computed amount is a wage. You do not say “How much is
your daily salary?” and not even “How much is your salary per hour?”
Example: A saleslady earns a salary of Php 11,520 per month. If she works 8 hours
a day for working 24 days in a month, how much is her daily and hourly wage?
(Solution: 11,520/24 days = 480 per day; 480/8 hours = 60 per hour)
You should know how to compute the daily rate or hourly rate of a person
even if he or she is earning a salary. Why? It is because an amount for being late
or absent should be deducted from an employee’s salary at the end of the month.
63
B. Gross and Net Earnings
Gross earnings (or gross income) refer to the total amount an individual
receives before taking out any deductions. There are two types of deductions. These
are the voluntary (i.e., life insurance and loans) and mandatory deductions (i.e.,
income tax and SSS/GSIS). It includes the basic pay, overtime pay, bonuses,
commissions, and other forms of earnings you receive from your employer. Net
earnings (or net income), on the other hand, refer to the amount an employee takes
home on payday. It is the remaining amount after subtracting all the voluntary and
mandatory deductions.
Example 1: How much is the monthly gross income if the annual gross income is
Php 300,000?
Example 2: A salesperson gets a basic pay of Php 20,000 a month, a food and
transportation allowance of Php 1,500 a month, and a commission of 3% of all his
sales is a month. How much is his gross income if he was able to sell Php 120,000
in a month?
Solution:
Basic Pay Php 20,000.00
Food and transportation allowance 1,500.00
Commission (3% of Php 120,000.00) 3,600.00
Total Income (Gross Pay) Php 25,100.00
Example 3: Suppose that the monthly gross income of an employee is Php 20,000
and she has to pay annually Php 3,600 for PhilHealth, Php 1,200 for Pag-IBIG, and
64
Solution:
a. Compute the monthly deductions by dividing the amount by 12 months.
Hence, you will get the following results per month:
65
It’s a Payday!
Directions: Select the employee with a higher take home pay based on the given
situations. Then, state by how much the difference of their net earnings is.
1. Rico and Rica are both employees of ABC Company. Rico is a supervisor while
Rica is a saleslady. Rico’s monthly salary is Php 16,800. Aside from this, he
also receives a food and transportation allowance of Php 1,500 a month.
However, a deduction of Php 3,500 is subtracted from his salary every
payday. Rica, on the other hand, earns Php 11,000 a month after all
deductions have been made. Who between the two has a higher take-home
pay?

2. Distinguish taxable from nontaxable benefits (ABM_BM11SW-IIe-6).
3. Enumerate the standard deductions with the corresponding computation
(ABM_BM11SW-e-6).
Lesson
Employee Benefits
12
The previous module tackled some ways on how to compensate an employee
working for the benefit of the company. You also experienced how to calculate his
or her earnings. In this module, you will study another type of compensation that
may help a business attract dedicated and committed employees – employee
benefits. These are an essential part of the company’s compensation system to
encourage more employees to perform better. When the employee works well, the
business has a higher tendency to grow and succeed.
Success will not be possible without people who will work towards the vision
and mission of a company. To sum up, they are the real asset of any business. They
do a significant contribution to business undertakings.
67
14th month pay, living allowance, and bonuses while SSS/GSIS, Pag-IBIG, and
PhilHealth are examples of non-cash benefits.
Employee Benefits
Every company has its way of providing benefits for their employees. For
instance, a company may offer a benefit that is different from another company.
Though benefits vary from one company to another, some benefits are compulsory
and mandated by the law. In our country, the Labor Code of the Philippines known
as the Presidential Decree No. 442 protects the rights to benefits of all employees.
Hence, all employed individuals should receive the benefits required by the
government. Otherwise, an employee may file a case against his or her employer for
not abiding with the law.
Mandatory benefits of an employee include the following:
• Minimum Wage
➢ The minimum wage varies from one region to another. In NCR, the
minimum wage (as of the year 2020) is Php 537.00 per day.
• Overtime Pay
➢ A wage earner who performs work over eight (8) hours a day should
receive overtime pay. The computation depends on the time when the
overtime work happens. In the next module, you will learn how to
compute this.
• Leave Benefits
➢ This benefit allows an employee to be absent from work for a certain
period due to different reasons. The number of days depends on the
type of leave benefit. Examples of leave benefits are maternity leave,
paternity leave, and solo-parent leave.
• 13th Month Pay
➢ An employee who has worked for at least one (1) month is eligible for
a 13th month pay. To compute this, just multiply the monthly basic
salary by the employment length then divide it by 12 months. Note
that a 13th month pay is not the same as the Christmas Bonus. As
the name suggests, a bonus is given according to the generosity of the
employers. The company is not required to give this to an employee.
• Mandatory Government Contributions
➢ All employees below 60 years old who receive more than Php 1,000
per month are required to contribute to the three social insurance
funds in the Philippines:
✓ the Social Security System (SSS) for private employees or the
Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) for government
employees
✓ the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF, known as Pag-IBIG
Fund)
✓ the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth)
68
B. Taxable and Nontaxable Benefits
Some benefits are not required by the law. We call these “de minimis
benefits.” While these are not compulsory, the government encourages employers
to provide these to their employees. “De minimis benefits” are the small privileges
offered to an employee to protect the general well-being of the employees. The good
thing about this type of benefit is that it is exempted for income tax purposes
provided that it does not exceed Php 90,000. All other allowances regularly earned
by the employees are subject to income tax purposes under certain conditions. The
updated list of de minimis benefits are as follows:
Source: https://www.bir.gov.ph/index.php/tax-information/withholding-tax.html#wt09
69
Based on law, all other benefits that are not included in the list of “de minimis
benefits” are taxable. Also, if a company provides more than the indicated
limitations, the amount beyond the limit would be taxable. Lastly, the amount more
than Php 90,000 tax exemption (including the 13th month pay and other benefits
such as productivity and incentive bonuses) will be taxable.
Example: Ms. Jen is an employee of ABC Company. She received the following
annual compensations and benefits.
The next table shows which of the benefits is taxable and nontaxable.
C. Mandatory Deductions
Basically, the formula for computing taxable income is:
Taxable Income = (Basic Salary + Additional Pay) – Deductions
where:
Basic Salary = the amount of money an employee receives before any
deductions or any additional pay
Additional Pay = refer to the amount that is being added to the basic salary
such as overtime pay
Deductions = the amount of money that is subtracted from the gross income.
Some reasons for deductions are:
• tardiness
• absences
• loans
• tax and mandatory contributions
70
Now, let us talk about the mandatory government deductions from salary.
1. Income Tax
This amount is known as the withholding tax because the employer does
not give this to the employee. Instead, the employer subtracts this amount
from the employee’s salary then remits this later to the Bureau of Internal
Revenue (BIR).
2. SSS/GSIS Contribution
An employee working in the private sector is required to be an SSS member
(or GSIS member if the employee works in a public institution). SSS/GSIS is
an insurance program for all employees. However, every member needs to
contribute a percentage of their salary.
3. PhilHealth Contribution
The contribution intends to provide health insurance to employees. Just
multiply the basic salary by the premium rate. Half of the result is shouldered
by the employer and the other half by the employee. Both the employee and
employers contribute equal shares for PhilHealth.
71
4. Pag-IBIG Contribution
Please take note that Pag-IBIG uses a maximum monthly compensation of
Php 5,000. Thus, the highest share is Php 100 per employee and Php 100
per employer.
Sample Problem: Enzo works as a salesman in XYZ Private Company. His monthly
gross income is Php 30,000. How much is the taxable income and the net income?
Solution: Enzo’s gross income (basic salary + additional pay) is Php 30,000.
(To answer the problem, look at the monthly contribution tables that were presented
before arriving to this part.)

standard sequence of the course.
Lesson
Overtime Pay
13
Employers protect their employees by giving them enough time to rest. It is
because an overworked employee cannot perform at its best. However, there are
times that employees may be required to work overtime when there is urgent work
needed to fulfill that may affect the business status. In this module, you will learn
how the Labor Code of the Philippines protects the employees with this matter.
According to Article 83 of the Labor Code, any employee shall work not
exceeding 8 hours a day, excluding at least a one-hour lunch break. Working
beyond eight hours a day will entitle an employee to an extra pay called overtime
pay (or premium pay if an employee report to work during a non-working day like rest
days and holidays). Articles 93 and 94 specify the hourly rate and overtime
premium an employee should receive depending on the workday he or she reports
to work. This benefit applies to all employees except to those listed on this site:
https://www.laborlaw.ph/legal/overtime-pay-under-philippine-labor-law
75
To compute the overtime pay:
Step 1: Divide the daily wage by eight to determine the regular hourly wage.
Step 2: Identify the workday an employee reported to work. Refer to the
table below. Note that this table is applicable only for non-night shift.
Workday Hourly Rate if an employee Hourly Rate in
will NOT be working for excess of eight
more than eight hours hours
Ordinary Day 125%
Rest Day 130% 169%

Special Non-working 150% 195%
Day that falls on a
Rest Day
Regular Holiday 200% 260%
Regular Holiday that 260% 338%
falls on a Rest Day
Step 3: Compute the overtime pay using the variables needed, i.e., the
regular hourly wage, overtime rate, and overtime.
Example: Jenny works as a saleslady in a store that sells branded clothes. She
works from Monday to Friday, and her pay is Php 537.00 a day.
a. Suppose she reported to work from Monday to Friday with no overtime. How
much is her pay in a week if she worked eight hours on a regular Saturday
(rest day)?
Step Solution
1. Compute her pay from Since there is no overtime from Monday to
Monday to Friday. Friday, just multiply the daily wage by 5.
➢ 537(5) = 2,685
2. Calculate the overtime pay • Her overtime happened during her rest
(premium pay). day.
• The overtime rate is 130%.
• Rewrite 130% to 1.30 (or 1.3).
➢ 537(1.3) = 698.10
3. Add the results from steps 1 ➢ 2,685 + 698.10 = 3,383.10
and 2.
Therefore, her pay during that week is Php 3,383.10.
76
b. Suppose that she worked 10 hours on a regular holiday. How much is her
pay on that day?
Step Solution
1. Compute her hourly wage. Divide the daily wage by 8.
• 537/8 = 67.125
2. Calculate her pay on that Determine the pay for the first 8 hours.
day. • 537(200%) = 1,074
(Note that aside from working Determine the pay for the hours worked
during a regular holiday, she beyond eight hours
also worked two hours beyond • 67.125 (260%) (2 hours overtime) =
the required working hours. This 349.05
means, you will be using two
different overtime rates.)
2. Suppose that my daily wage is Php 1,000.00, and I worked for 9.5 hours on
a normal day. How much is my total pay on that day?
Solution:
77
3. My daily wage is Php 537.00. If I work on Christmas Day, how much pay will
I receive on that day?

This module targets the following learning competencies:
78
1. Use E- spread sheet in the computation of salary and overtime pay
(ABM_BM11SW- IIf -10).
2. Present graphical representation of the details or particulars of the salary.
(ABM_BM11SW- IIf -13).
All employees have the right to receive what is due to them. Hence, it is
necessary to ensure that they get the right compensation. However, computing
salary and overtime pay are quite complicated. In this module, you will learn how
to use a program that can help you greatly in doing this task.
During the old days, people assigned in the payroll used a paper spreadsheet
(or ledger paper) to compute salary and overtime pays. It is a form of a table with
many rows and columns. These rows and columns intersect and form a rectangular
box where the data is being written manually. As the technology progresses, some
people were able to invent and develop apps that will help ease the burden of
computing. Now, people use an electronic version of a spreadsheet.
If you search on the internet, you will find different spreadsheet programs.
Some of these are Google Sheets, Open Office, Microsoft Excel, and many more.
Among these, Microsoft Excel is the most widely used.
79
To enter data in a spreadsheet, do the
following steps:
Formula Bar
80
• If you want to get the sum of many data, you
may encode the = sign, type SUM, then open
parenthesis, highlight the cell that you want
to add, close parenthesis, then ENTER.
• Remember that to compute the net pay, you
need to get the difference between the gross
pay and the total deductions.
• To calculate the net pay, click the = sign, click
the cell where the gross pay amount is
located, press the minus sign using your
keyboard, click the cell where the amount of
total deductions is located, and the press
ENTER.

Lesson
Presentation of Data
15
Business data serve as a basis for making decisions. However, these will
only be mere data if not organized and presented well. Thus, knowing how to show
data is necessary, especially if you want to attract investors. In this module, you
will learn more about this.
83
Presentation of data is about organizing the information to help the readers
(or viewers) understand the matter easier. There are different ways to do it. You may
show it using texts, tables, or graphs.
Textual Form
• the data are presented in words
Example:
• usually in paragraph form
In 2020, five hundred out of seven
• used to explain or interpret
hundred fifty workers of a factory lost
significant features of the data their job due to an outbreak in the city.
• used if the data that you want Forty-five percent of them were female.
to show is not very large
Tabular Form
• the data are presented using
tables
• easy to read and construct
• can be used even with a large
amount of data because it
helps simplify complex data
• can be used even if you are
presenting information with
different units

tabulation-of-data-and-parts-of-table.html?m=0
Graphical Form
• the data are presented using graphs
• easy to understand even if the reader (or viewer) is not good in language or numbers
• helps simplify complex data
The common types of graphs are bar chart, pie chart, and line graph.
Bar Chart
• uses bars of different lengths
but with equal widths
• used when the order of
categories is not important
• usually used to compare values
across a few categories
84Source: https://thetablebar.blogspot.com/2018/02/bar-graph-parts.html
Line Graph
• uses line to present data
• used to show trends over time
• used when the order is
important
Source: https://www.formpl.us/resources/graph-chart/line/
Pie Chart
• uses pie slices
• used to show parts of a whole

MODULE 16
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the nature of Business Mathematics. The scope of this module permits
it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of learners. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course.
This module targets the following learning competencies:
1. Analyze and interpret the data presented in a graph/table (ABM_BM11PAD-
IIi-10).
2. Analyze and interprets the data presented in the table using measures of
central tendency and variability and tests of significant differences
(ABM_BM11PAD-IIh-5)
3. Use software (i.e., MS Excel, SPSS) programs to compute and present
graphical representation of business data (ABM_BM11PAD-IIj-11)
86
Lesson
Analysis of Data
16
After you have presented the data, the next thing is to analyze its meaning.
What do these data tell you? In this module, you will learn ways on how to analyze
and interpret a set of data.
One of the most used tools in data analysis is the measures of central
tendency. It attempts to describe a set of data by determining the center of the
distribution using a single value.
Example:
Monthly Sales in Peso
(2021)
25,000 23,500 24,788 21,988
28,435 26,705 24,927 25,682
23,401 22,999 23,755 27,004
If there is one single value that would represent all these data, what would it
be? The answer to this question is called a central tendency. Generally, the most
common measures of central tendency are the mean, median, and mode. Sometimes
they are called averages.
The mean is determined by adding all the values, and then divide the sum
by the number of values in the data set. Among the three measures, the mean is
unique and may not be one of the data values.
Median is another form of average. To find this, arrange all the data from
smallest to largest (or vice versa). Then get the middle value. If the number of data
is even, add the two middle values and divide it by two.
87
Example: Find the average salary of office staff in NCR using the median.
Solution:
The mode, on the other hand, is the easiest to identify. Just look at the data
set and determine the value that occurs most often. It represents the highest bar in
a bar chart. A data may have one mode (unimodal), two modes (bimodal), three
modes (trimodal), more than three modes (multimodal), or no mode at all. In the
previous data for office staff salary, no salary appears more than once. Hence, we
cannot use the mode in this example.
Good news! You don’t have to do this manually. With the aid of computers,
you may do all the analysis by using a software program like SPSS and Microsoft
Excel. In this module, you will focus on the latter.
Microsoft Excel has many ways to analyze your data. For now, you will
focus on one of the add-in programs that will help you in data analysis – the
Analysis ToolPak. To check if you have it in your Excel, do this.
88
Let’s try to do it.
You may explore the tool if you want to measure the variance or test the
difference.
Another feature of Excel is that you can make charts in it. To do this,
After the analysis, the next part is to interpret the result. What can you say
about the data? You may look at the trend and find out if there is anything not
normal.
