Interest is the “rent” that a borrower pays a lender to use the lender’s money.
Simple interest is a type of interest that is paid only on the original amount deposit
and not on past interest paid.
Simple Interest
I = Prt ; A = P+I = P(1 + rt)
where
• I = amount of interest
• P = present value (called "Principal")
• r = interest rate
• t = time (in years)
• A = Accumulated or future value
Example:
1) P 3000 earning Simple Interest at 6% per year for 2 years
Ans. P 3360
2) How much would you need to have on an account to earn P 100 simple interest in four months,
assuming that the simple interest rate is 6.4 %?
Ans. P 4687.5
It is a method of calculating interest where the interest is added to the original principal. This new
value is now our principal for the next time period. In this method the interest earned in past terms can earn
interest in future terms.
F=P∗(1+i )n
Example 1: Sometimes Compound Interest is paid instead of Simple Interest. Each year the interest is worked out
using the Principal + Interest, where in this case the Principal is the $200 and in the first year the Interest is the
$8.00 at the rate of 4% per annum. What is the compound interest of example 3 after 3 years?
3
F=200 ( 1+ 0.04 ) =$ 224.97
Example 2. Mr. Garcia borrowed P1,000,000 for the expansion of his business. The effective rate of interest is 7%.
F=1,000,000 ( 1+ 0.07 )1=P 1,070,000
The loan is to be repaid in full after one year. How much is to be paid after one year?
An amount of P1,070,000 must be paid after one year.
Example 3. A loan of P200,000 is to be repaid in full after 3 years. If the interest rate is 8% per annum. How much
should be paid after 3 years?
Answer: F = P(1 + i)n = 200, 000 (1 + 0.08)3 = 251, 942.40
A. Definition of Terms
Amortization Method - method of paying a loan (principal and interest) on installment basis, usually of equal
amounts at regular intervals
Mortgage - a loan, secured by collateral, that the borrower is obliged to pay at specified terms.
Collaterals are assets that can secure a loan. If a borrower cannot pay the loan, the lender has a right to the
collateral. The most common collaterals are real estate property. For business loans, equipment, furniture and
vehicles may also be used as collaterals. Usually, the loan is secured by the property bought. For example, if a
house and lot is purchased, the purchased house and lot will be used as a mortgaged property or a collateral. During
the term of the loan, the mortgagor, the borrower in a mortgage, still has the right to possess and use the
EXAMPLE 1. If a house is sold for P3,000,000 and the bank requires 20% down payment, find the amount of the
mortgage.
Solution:
Down payment= (down payment rate)(cash price)
= 0.20 (3,000,000)
= 600,000
Alternate Solution:
= (0.80)(3,000,000) = P 2,400,000
