Uniform Series Compound Interest Formulas
Many payments are based on a uniform
payment series.
e.g. automobile loans, house payments, and
many other loans.

compound amount factor
A man deposits $500 in a credit union at the end of
each year for 5 years. The credit union pays 5%
interest, compounded annually.
At the end of 5 years, immediately after the fifth
deposit, how much does the man have in his
account?
A = $500 , i = 5% , n = 5

Example 4-
P
A = $
i = 1% n = 60 months
i.e. if you take the contract, you
will be paid $140 per month for a period of 60 months. That means a total of $ over the 5-year period
We need to determine if the contract is worth $
P = A(P/A, 1%, 60) = 140(44.955) = $6293.
… Example 4-
$140 per month, we will receive less than the 1% per month interest (which is the interest that we can otherwise make). Therefore the offer should be rejected.
equivalent to $6293.7. Therefore if we pay $6800 for a benefit of $140 per month, we will lose money
per month if invested at the given interest rate of 1%, which means that investing the $6800 in the purchase contract will be a loss when compared to investing it in in the other investment opportunity (which gives a 1% interest rate)
Therefore, Reject the offer.

Relationships Between Compound Interest Factors
How?
P = A(1+ i)-1^ + A(1+ i)-2^ + ……+ A( 1 + i)-n
P = A[(1+ i)-1^ + (1+ i)-2^ +……+ ( 1+ i)-n^ ]
P = A[(P/F,i,1)+(P/F,i,2)+...+(P/F,i,n)]
since P = A(P/A, i, n)
We conclude that (P/A, i, n) = (P/F,i,1)+(P/F,i,2)+...+(P/F,i,n)

F = A[ 1 + (1+ i) + (1+ i)^2 + ... + (1+ i)n-1^ ]
F = A[ 1 + (F/P,i,1) + (F/P,i,2) + ... + (F/P,i,n-1)]
since F = A(F/A,i,n)
We conclude that (F/A,i,n) = 1 + (F/P,i,1) + (F/P,i,2) + ... + (F/P,i,n-1)
