Lecture On Simple Compound Interest
I. Learning Objectives:
When you deposit money in a bank, the bank usually pays you for the use
of your money. When you take out a loan from a bank, you have to pay the
bank for the use of their money. In both cases, the money paid is called
the interest.
I = Prt
where:
The Principal (P) is the original amount of money deposited or borrowed.
The Interest Rate (r) is a percent of the principal earned or paid. It is
usually expressed in terms of percent.
The Time (t) is the length of time the money is deposited or borrowed. It is
usually expressed in terms of year.
Illustrative Example:
Solve the unknown quantity in each of the problems below. Show your
complete solution.
1. Butch got a loan of P147,000.00 to buy a used car. The interest rate is
7.5%. He paid P25,000.00 in interest. How many years did it take him
to pay off his loan?
2. If you invest P35,000 in savings account that pays 4% simple interest,
how much interest will you earn after 3 years?
3. Jesus borrowed P60,000 from a loan shark. If you will owe P72,000 for
18 months, what simple interest rate was imposed?
4. An investment earned P11,250.00 interest after 9 months. The rate
imposed was 5%. How much was originally invested?
5. P120,000.00 was invested for 3 years. It earned P20,400.00 in interest.
What was the interest rate imposed?
6. Find the compound amount due at the end of the time if money is
invested at the given rate:
6.1 P20,000.00 ; 2 years and 8 months at 8% compounded
monthly.
6.2 P50,000.00 ; 4 years and 2 months at 12.75% compounded
quarterly.
6.3 P65,800.00 ; 6.25 years at 9½% months compounded
monthly.
