Simple Interest
Interest is the return on capital
or cost of using capital. It is the
amount of money paid for the
use of borrowed capital or the
income produced by money,
which has been loaned.
Simple Interest is calculated
using the principal only, ignoring
any interest that had been
accrued in preceding period.
Where:
I = interest
i = rate of interest
n = number of interest period
P = principal or present worth
F = accumulated amount or future
worth

Compound Interest
Compound Interest the
interest for an interest
period is calculate on the
principal plus total amount
of interest accumulated in
the
previous
period.
Compound interest means
the interest on top of
interest.
Where:
I = interest
i = rate of interest
n = number of interest periods
m = number of compounding periods
t = time
P = present worth
F = future worth

Equation of Value
An equation of value is obtained by setting
the sum of the values on a certain
comparison or local date (or focal date) of
one set of obligations equal to the sum of
the values on the same date of another set
of obligations.

Discrete Payments
The solution of discrete payments or number of
transactions occurring at different periods is taking each
transaction to the base year and equating each value.
Steps in Solving Discrete Payments:
1. Draw the cash flow diagram.
2. Select any convenient focal date.
3. Years on the left of the focal date have a positive sign
while years on the right of the focal date have a
negative sign.
4. Use the principle: Cash Inflow = Cash Outflow

Continuous
Compounding Interest
The solution for interest compounded continuously
can be derived thru differential equations and can be
found as:
Where:
i = interest rate compounded continuously
P = present worth
t = time

Bankers Discount
Certain banks lend money in such a way that they
deduct the interest on the money. They actually dont
lend you money you asked for. This type of computing
money is called bankers discount. The money received
by the borrower after the discount has been deducted is
called proceeds.
Where:
i = rate of interest
d = rate of discount
n = number of interest period
