Our target learning outcomes are a) Use mathematical concepts and tools in other
areas such as finance and business; b) Differentiate compound interest from simple interest;
c) Apply the interest and annuity formulas to cases of loans, credits, stocks bonds, property
purchases, and investment problems
Important Terms
Principal. It refers to the original sum of money borrowed in a loan or put into an
investment.
Interest is the charge for the privilege of borrowing money. From the investor’s
viewpoint, interest is the income from an invested amount at a given rate for a given time.
From the debtor’s viewpoint, interest is the money paid for the use of borrowed
money.
Interest Rate. The interest rate is the amount a lender charges for the use of money
expressed as a percentage of the principal. The interest rate is typically noted on an annual
basis known as the annual interest rate.
Time. This is the period from the beginning when the money was borrowed (or
invested) to the period when the money should be returned with the additional amount
(interest). This is also called the term of loan or term of investment.

PowerPoint 14: Simple interest
It refers to the interest paid on the original principal. It is also characterized by a fixed
amount earned over time. Usually, simple interest is associated with loans and investments
which are short term in nature.
The formula in computing for the simple interest is given by
where: I – the Interest
P– the Principal
r – the rate of interest
t – the time period
We have to note that the time t should be expressed in years. Unless otherwise stated,
it will be assumed that the interest rate is an annual interest.
Example 61 : Find the simple interest earned in an account where ₱4,500 is on deposit for
4 years at 3 1/4% annual interest.

This is referred to as the Banker’s Rule.

𝑒
Note: Use the Banker’s rule unless otherwise specified. When we count the number of days
in between two dates we do not include the first day but we include the last day. Take note
that February may either have 29 or 28 days depending on if it is a leap year or not.
Example 67 : Calculate the simple interest due on a loan of ₱2000, at 6.5% simple interest,
which was availed on July 12, 2019, and to be repaid on December 12, 2019. Use the four
methods of computing for simple interest.
Solution:
Given: 𝑃 = ₱2, 000 , 𝑟 = 0. 065
𝑡: July 12, 2019 → December 12, 2019
Unknown: 𝐼 using the four different methods
Solution: First we count the number of days between July 12, 2019 and December
12, 2019 using actual time and approximate time.

Final Amount. The sum of the principal and the interest which is accumulated at a
certain time. Final amount could be the Future Value or the Maturity Value
Future Value (of an investment). A term used to refer to the total amount on
deposit after the interest earned has been added to the principal.
repaid to the lender where the amount is the interest due on the loan plus the
principal.
The formula in computing for the Final Amount is given as:
where: F - the Final Amount.
P - the Principal.
I – the Interest.

Comparing simple and compound interest there is a ₱31 discrepancy. Said amount
is the accumulated interest of the interests.
Example 71 : Find the compound amount and interest if ₱1,000 is invested at 2%
compounded quarterly for 1 year and 6 months.

Cash Value. In some business transactions involving money, especially during the
onset of the purchase of an expensive good or service, a down payment is required and in
most cases, the purchaser makes financing arrangements to cover the remaining amount
owed to the seller. ( Investopedia). In the case that we want to compute for the cash value
then we use
CASH VALUE = Down payment(DP) + Present value of all future payments
If no down payment is required, then
CASH VALUE = Present value of all future payments
Example 72 : An equipment is purchased on installment by your company. Your company
paid an amount of ₱205,000 and owes a balance of ₱500,000 to be paid at the end of
seven years. Find the cash value of the equipment if money is worth 5% compounded
quarterly.
Solution:
Given: 𝐷𝑃 = ₱205, 000 , 𝐹 = ₱500, 000 , 𝑟 = 0. 05 , 𝑚 = 4 , 𝑡 = 7
Unknown: 𝐶𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
To solve for the cash value, we have to determine the present value 𝑃 of the future
payment of ₱500, 000.

Then , 𝐶𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 = ₱205, 000 + ₱353, 109. 26 = ₱558, 109. 26
Answer: 𝐶𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 = ₱558, 109. 26
