6.1 INTRODUCTION
Just about everyone becomes involved in transactions where interest rates affect
the amount to be paid or received. For many, the largest such transaction is the
purchase of a home. As we shall lear, a person who borrows $150,000 for such
aa purchase and cancels the debt by making monthly payments over a period of 30
years, will pay back about $284,502 if the interest rate is 9 percent per year,
compounded monthly. Not very many years ago, when the interest rate was about
12 percent, the corresponding payback would have been about $405,440. The size
of these paybacks serves to show both the effect of compound interest and the effect
of changes in interest rates. In this chapter, we first look at simple interest calcu-
lation. We then turn to the major objective of the chapter, which is to develop and
apply formulas for financial transactions that involve compound interest calcula-
tions. In so doing, we shall ask and answer questions such as the following, for
various interest rates and frequencies of compound
1, If $5,000 is deposited in a bank account now, what will be the amount in
the account 10 years from now?
How much must be deposited in a bank account now if the amount in the
account 5 years from now is to be $10,000?
3. If $1,000 is added to an account every year, to what amount will the
‘account grow in 15 years
4. How much must be deposited in an account each year if the amount in the
account at the end of 10 years is to be $15,000?
5. What sum deposited now will provide an income of $10,000 per year each
year for the next 20 years?
6. If $100,000 is borrowed now to pay for a home, how much must be paid
back euch month if the debt is to be cancelled in 20 years
_ We shall also answer questions like the preceding if interest is compounded
instantaneously (continuously) rather than at discrete points in time such as the end
of each day, month, four months, six months, or one year.
Extensive tabulations are available to aid in carrying out the calculations involved
in financial tabulations. However we shall show how these calculations are easily
carried out on i calculator and/or computer. We prefer this approach because even

the most extensive tabulations provide a limited cross section of interest rates andl

Definition, Nominal rate = Rate per year
Although the quoted nominal rate is per year, it is common practice to compound
interest more frequently than once a year. Many banks compound interest on savings
accounts on a daily basis (365: times a year). In other transactions, interest is
compounded monthly, quarterly, or semiannually as shown in Table 6-6
Definition. Number of conversions per year = m.
Find the future value of $500 at 8 percent compounded quarterly for 10
years.
“There are four quarters in one year and
4(10) = 40
quarters in 10 years. Thus we multiply the number of years by the number of
conversions per year. We shall now use this number of periods (40 quarters) as 1
