At the end of this lesson, you are expected
to calculate future value and present value
of money:
distinguishing simple and compound
interest
solve exercises and problems in
computing for time value of money with
the aid of present and future value tables
Simple and Compound
Interest
Businesses and individuals borrow money if
in need of cash. When they borrow money,
they incur debt. The lender earns money
through interest and the borrower gets the
money he needs but in return, he needs to
pay the money he borrowed plus the
interest.
What is the time value
of money?
The time value of money (TVM) is the
concept that money you have now is worth
more than the identical sum in the future
due to its potential earning capacity. This
core principle of finance holds that
provided money can earn interest, any
amount of money is worth more the sooner
it is received.
People invest their money to receive
returns in the future. The TIME VALUE
concept helps individuals or
businesses to analyze what will be the
value of money in the present and in
the future.
The PRESENT VALUE is the original amount
borrowed, the FUTURE VALUE is the principal
plus the total INTEREST earned over a stated
period, the interest is the amount of money paid
for the use of borrowed money. Present value
and future value are both involved in the time
value of money. Both consider three factors:
principal, interest rate, and time.
SIMPLE INTEREST
Simple interest is computed based
on the principal amount (original
amount) and based on the annual time.
It is computed by multiplying together
the principal, rate, and time.
To find the FUTURE VALUE (maturity
value) at the end of the term, add the
principal amount and the interest earned.
Example 1:
You invested Php 20,000.00 for
three years at 5% simple interest
rate. How much will you get after
three years?
EXAMPLE 2:
Alex paid Php 1,537.50 with a loan
made 3 months before at 10%
simple interest. Find the principal
amount of the loan and the
interest generated.
Example 3:
The interest on a loan of
Php 20,000.00 is Php 3,200.00.
If the rate is 8%, when is the loan
due?
Example 4:
Determine the simple interest
rate if an investment of
Php 25,000.00 accumulates
Php 27,625.00 in 18 months.
ACTIVITY 1: Compute the following
using a simple interest assumption:
