Compound rates are used in markets when more than one is applied.
The interest rate and the value of the settled interest is a product of simultaneous action.
Two interest rates are equivalent when they yield the same effective rates.
procedure:
C =3.000.000
i = 12% ANNUAL - WHICH WE CONVERT TO QUARTERLY 3%
VF =
t = 18 MONTHS - WHICH WE CONVERT TO 6 QUARTERS
The first thing I need to do is convert the annual interest to monthly so that we can...
match with the formula we will do this by dividing 12% by 4 to get the value
1st quarter
18 months = __________ = 6 trimesters
3 months
VF = 3,000,000 (1 + 0.03) ^ 6
VF = 3.582.156

Exercise 2
Case:
The financial manager must update the employees' computer equipment, in order to
that they can work correctly, in this way, quote for two brands, for
know which of them offers you better value and financing. Carry out each of the
following financial math problems, presenting them appropriately.
Brand A: offers the computing equipment for a cash price of $3,560,000 or it
You can pay in six months, but it has a value of $4,380,000.
Brand B: the same computer equipment is sold financed at a rate of 4%
monthly. 1. Which of the two warehouses has higher financing for the team
of computation? Justify your answer
F= 3,560,000 (1 + 0.04) ^6
F= 4.504.535 X = (1,04^5 + 1,04^4 + 1,04^3 + 1,04^2 + 1,04^1)
F= 4.504.535 X= 5.6323975
F=799.754
Brand B has the most expensive financing as the payment with them would be
$799.754 multiplied by 6 months is $4.798.524 and brand A is
$4,380,000
The financial manager, with all the money movements and to manage
promptly the company's treasury makes a deposit for a quarter to
DTF + 4, what will be the effective annual rate of the investment if the DTF is 13%
TA? Justify your answer.
Since the DTF is an anticipated rate, we must use the following formula to
find the effective interest rate
IE = (1-j) ^ -n-1
IE = (1-4.25) ^-4-1 = 18.97% ANTICIPATED EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE
And we carry out the following formula to find the effective annual rate:
EA = (1-(13%TA + 4%))^4-1
4
EA = (1-(0.13+0.04)) ^-4-1
4
EA = 28.5%
