Simple Interest
Simple Interest
n= = =
Example:
1. A woman deposits $725 into a saving account that pays 2.3% simple annual interest. How much
interest will be earn after 18 months.
I = Pin
= $725 ( 2.3%) ( )
I = $25.0125
2. Determine the ordinary simple interest on $10,000 for 9 months and 10 days if the interest is 12%.
I = Pin
= $10,000 ( 12%) ()
= $933.33
Example:
3. If you borrow $10,000 from your friend and agrees to pay at the end of 90
days under 8% simple interest. What is the required amount?
F = P(1 + in)
= $10,000 (1 + 0.08())
= $10200
EXACT SIMPLE INTEREST – PERIOD IS BASED ON ACTUAL DAYS IN A
PARTICULAR YEAR. 365 DAYS FOR AN ORDINARY YEAR OR 366 DAYS
FOR A LEAP YEAR.

FEBRUARY 28 or 29 Note: the leap year are those years which are divisible by 4.
However if it is a century year (ending with two zeros like
MARCH 31
1900, 2000, etc), the year must be divisible by 400.

Example:
4. Determine whether years 1982, 1996, 2000 is a leap year or just an ordinary
year.
1. 3.
2. 4.
5. Determine the exact simple interest on $1200 for the period from January 16
to November 26, 1992, if the rate of interest is 24%.
I = Pin
= 1200(0.24)()
=$247.87
6. Find the total amount on $10,500 invested at 5% for 75 days using exact
interest.
F = P (1 + Pin)
= 10,500 (1 + 0.05())
= $10,607.87
COMPOUND INTEREST
Compound interest – is an interest which is based on the current account or on
the original capital plus the accumulated interest.
