Section 5.1 Compound Interest
Simple Interest Formula
Simple Interest - interest that is compounded on the original principal only.
Interest: I = Prt
Accumulated amount: A = P(1 + rt)
A = Accumulated amount
P = Principal
r = Interest rate per year
t = Number of years

Example
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?

Compound Interest
Compound Interest – Interest is added to the original principal and then earns interest at the same rate.
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)

6. Effective Rate of Interest
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.
where
reff = Effective rate of interest
r = Nominal interest rate per year
m = Number of conversion periods per year

Section 5.2 Annuities
Annuity
Annuity – 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.

11. Future Value of an Annuity
The future value S of an annuity of n payments of R dollars each, paid at the end of each investment period into an account that earns interest at the rate of i per period is

Example
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?

Example
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?

Example
Ex. Max has decided to set up a sinking fund for the purpose of purchasing a new car in 4 years. He estimates that he will need $25,000. If the fund earns 8.5% interest per year compounded semi-annually, determine the size of each (equal) semi-annual installment that Max should pay into the fund.
