Janice and Jamaica are both senior high
school students. After class the two had a
conversation:
Janice: Wow, your cellphone is so cool! Is
that new?
where:
Is = simple interest
P = principal or the amount invested or
borrowed or present value
r = simple interest rate
t = time or term in years
The formula can be manipulated to obtain the
following relationships:
The formula for finding the principal amount
or
where:
F = maturity (future) value
Is = simple interest
P = principal or the amount invested or
borrowed or present value
r = simple interest rate
t = time or term in years
Example 1: Given: 𝑃𝑃=₱18,500, 𝑟
=0.03, 𝑡 =5. Find simple interest (𝐼𝑠)
where:
F = maturity (future) value
P = principal or present value
r = interest rate
t = term or time in years
Example 1: Given: P= ₱18,500,
r = 3% and compounded
annually for 3 years, find the
maturity value (F) and the
compound interest (Ic ).
Example 2: Given
F = ₱15,000, r = 2%
compounded annually
for 4 years, find the
present value (P).
Compounding More Than Once a Year
In the examples above the interest are compounded
annually, however, there are cases that interest are
compounded more than once a year so in this case
additional terms must be clarified such as:
Frequency of conversion (m) - number of conversion
period in one year
Conversion or interest period – time between successive
conversions of interest
where:
F = maturity value
P = present value
j=
n = mt
Meanwhile, the formula in finding the present value
given the maturity value is:
𝑃=₱50,000.00, , 𝑚=4,
Example 3: Given
F=₱45,000.00, , 𝑚=2,
Example 4: Given
𝑡=4, find Ic .
