2. Interest Compounded Annually  When you borrow money from a financial institution, you must pay interest over the time you borrowed the money for. Interest is calculated as a percentage of what you borrow. You are basically paying someone for letting you borrow money. The lower the interest rate, the less “fee” you have to pay.  Sometimes you can earn interest when you put money in the bank. The bank essentially uses the money you put in savings so they pay you a small fee for letting them “use” your money.

4. Interest Compounded Annually

5. Compounding Annually  Suppose Quan Li invests $500 at 7% interest compounded annually. Find the value of her investment 10 years later.

6. Interest Compounded k times per year

7. Compounding monthly  Suppose Roberto invests $500 at 9% annual interest compounded monthly, that is, compounded 12 times a year. Find the value of his investment 5 years later.

8. Finding the time period  Judy has $500 to invest at 9% annual interest compounded monthly. How long will it take for her investment to grow to $3000?

9. Finding an Interest Rate  Stephen has $500 to invest. What annual interest rate compounded quarterly (4 times per year) is required to double his money in 10 years?

10. Annual Percentage Yield  Sometimes its difficult for consumers to determine what kind of loan or interest rates best suit them. For example, would you prefer an investment earning 8.75% annual interest compounded quarterly or one earning 8.7% compounded monthly?  A common basis for comparing investments is the annual percentage yield (APY) – the percentage rate that, compounded annually, would yield the same return as the given interest rate with the given compounding period.

11. Computing Annual Percentage Yield (APY)  Ursula invests $2000 with Crab Key Bank at 5.15% annual interest compounded quarterly. What is the equivalent APY?

12. Annuities – Future Value  In each of the investments we have been working with, we are assuming a lump-sum deposit. If someone starts an investment but makes regular deposits monthly, quarterly, or yearly – but the same amount each time, it is called an annuity.  An annuity is a sequence of equal periodic payments. The annuity is ordinary if deposits are made at the end of each period at the same time the interest is posted in the account.

13. Example:  Suppose Sarah makes quarterly $500 payments at the end of each quarter into a retirement account that pays 8% interest compounded quarterly. How much will be in Sarah’s account at the end of the first year?  End of Quarter 1: $500 = $500  End of Quarter 2: $500 + $500(1.02) =  End of Quarter 3: $500 + $500(1.02) + $500(1.02) 2 =  End of the year:

14. Future Value of an Annuity

15. Calculating the Value of an Annuity  At the end of each quarter year, Emily makes a $500 payment into the Lanaghan Mutual Fund. If her investments earn 7.88% annual interest compounded quarterly, what will be the value of Emily’s annuity in 20 years?
