interest
Interest, Interest Rate
• Money has two dimensions: quantity and time.
• The time value of money is expressed in interest
Example: $1,000 were loaned for three years at a simple interest rate of 10% per year.
Interest, Interest Rate (con’t)
• Compound interest: is based on the remaining principal amount plus
any accumulated interest charges up to the beginning of that period
I = P (1+ i) N P
Example: $1,000 were loaned for three years at an interest rate of 10%
compounded each year
Example
Three Plans for Repayment of $17,000 in Four Months
with Interest at 1% per Month
The relationship between the effective rate i, and the nominal rate r is:
Ex: 10% per year, compounded quarterly. Calculate the interest rate per six-month
Cash flow diagram
• In an investment project, the project's cost is conventionally negative
cash flow (out), the project's income is positive cash flow (in).
• By convention, all cash outflow and inflow in a period occur at the
end of that period.
• Cash inflow and cash outflow generally referred to as Cash-Flows
(CF).
• Net cash flow (NCF) = cash inflow – cash outflow
Cash flow diagram (con’t)
Notation
Using MS Excel:
= FV(rate,nper,pmt,[pv],0)
= FV(10%,4,0,8000,0) = - 11,713
Find P given F
Using MS Excel:
= PV(rate,nper,pmt,[fv],0)
= PV(10%,4,0,11712.8,0) = -8000
Using tables
• Find (F/P,i%,N), (P/F,i%,N) using table in Appendix C
Find i% given F, P, N
EX: how long would it take for $500 invested today at 15% interest per
year to be worth $1,000?
Find P, F given A
Using MS Excel:
= FV(rate,nper,pmt,0,0)
Example: Find F, given A
Lending the $23,000 of extra annual income to a savings account.
What is the amount that can be withdrawn after the 40th deposit is
made, if the interest rate (i) is 6% per year
Find P, F given A (con’t)
Using MS Excel:
= PV(rate,nper,pmt,0,0)
Example: find P, given A
i=12%
Find A, given F Using MS Excel:
= PMT(rate,nper,0,fv,0)
Find A, given P
Using MS Excel:
= PMT(rate,nper,pv,0,0)
Finding N given A, P, and i
Your company has a $100,000 loan for a new security system it just
bought. The annual payment is $8,880 and the interest rate is 8% per
year for 30 years. Your company decides that it can afford to pay
$10,000 per year. After how many payments (years) will the loan be
paid off?
Using MS Excel:
=NPER(rate,pmt,pv,0,0)
Finding i, given A, F, and N
The car you want to buy will cost $60,000 in eight years. You are
going to put aside $6,000 each year (for eight years) to save for this.
At what interest rate must you invest your money to achieve your goal
of having enough to purchase the car after eight years?
Using MS Excel:
=RATE(nper, pmt, pv, fv)
