Compound Interest
INTEREST
Compound Interest is a
kind of interest that follows
the principle “interest on
top of interest”, that is both
the principal amount and
the interest earned
interest. It can be denoted
as:
F = P (1 + i) n
Where:
F = Future Amount
P = Principal Amount
i = Interest Period
n = period of time
PERIOD PRINCIPAL FUTURE WORTH
1 P P + PI = P(1 + I)
2 P(1 + i) P(1 +i) * P(1 + i) = P(1 + i)2
3 P(1 + i)2 P(1 + i)2 * P(1 + i) = P(1 + i)3

a.) simple interest rate of 12% per year
b.) compound interest of 12% compounded
annually?

B. Nominal Rate – specified the rate of interest
and a number of interest periods in one year;
involves problems with interests that are
compounded monthly, Quarterly, and semi-
annually.
Fn = P
Example
If i = 10% per year compounded quarterly,
i will be iQ = = = 2.5%
in = 2.5 % per quarter compounded Quarterly

12% compounded monthly =12.68% compounded yearly
12% compounded quarterly =12.55% compounded yearly
12% compounded Semi-annually =12.38% compounded yearly
12% compounded annually =12% compounded yearly
Example:
What is the equivalent of 12% per year
compounded quarterly if converted to compounded
monthly?
Solution:
Fq = Fm
P(1+)q*4 = P(1+)3
(1+) = (1+ )3

CONTINUOUS
COMPOUNDING
Continuous compounding is the mathematical limit
that compound interest can reach if its calculated and
reinvested into an account’s balance over a
theoretically infinite number of periods. While this is
not possible in practice, the concept of continuously
compounded interest is important in finance.
F = Pe in
Example: A person invested 800,000.00
in an account offering 4% compounded
continuously. He also invested 500,00.00
in a separate account offering 10%
compounded continuously. When will the
total amounts in both accounts be equal?
When will the total amount in the second
account be 50% more than the amount in
the first account?

F1 = 800,000e0.04t

if interest on the first year is 12%
compounded annually, 12% compounded
monthly on the second year,12%
compounded quarterly on the third
year,12% compounded semi-annually on
the fourth and 12% compounded semi-
annually on the fifth up to tenth year?
