WHAT IS SIMPLE INTEREST?
Characteristics
1. The weather does not change throughout the
duration of the operation.
2. The interest rate is always applied
about the same capital.
3. Interests are always the same in
each period.

HOW IS SIMPLE INTEREST CALCULATED
Simple interest formula:
I Cti (1)
Defining:
I = simple interest
C = initial capital
t = time or period
i = interest rate
Note: time and the interest rate must always be expressed in the
the same units (years, months, days, semesters, etc.)

SIMPLE INTEREST
Example 1
What is the interest generated by a capital of $80,500 at the
monthly simple interest rate of 5%, if the money is
loan for 8 months.
Note that the interest rate and time are in the same
units, that is, months.

SIMPLE INTEREST
Example 2
A person deposits $175,000 in a savings account.
that offers a rate of 3.5% per month. If this person
decide to withdraw your money 21 days later. How much do you receive?
in the end?
Data: Solving and substituting:
C= $ 175,000 M C(1 it)
t = 21 days/30 days
= 0.7 months
i = 3.5% monthly M 175,000 1 (0.035)(0.7) $179,287.5
M=?
Note that the interest rate and time are in the same units (months).
As an exercise, solve using time and the interest rate in days.

years after making the deposit, if the investment
it was agreed with the client at a simple interest rate of
9% annual. What was the amount of the investment made?
Note: Please note that the interest rate and the time are in the
same units (years). 9
WHAT IS COMPOUND INTEREST?
It consists of an operation in which the
interest that is generated goes
increasing the original capital by
established periods, and in turn goes
generating additional new interest for
the following period.

WHAT IS COMPOUND INTEREST?
Example 4
A financial investment pays 10%
quarterly compounding interest.
What is your conversion rate?
The question is answered: How many
How many quarters are there in a year? Answer: 4
What is the compounding period?
quarterly
16
WHAT IS COMPOUND INTEREST?
The compound interest rate is expressed
generally on an annual basis, indicating
if necessary, your period of
capitalization.
30% annual compounded monthly
10% annual compounded semi-annually
14% annual capitalized quarterly
17
What is compound interest?
IMPORTANT:
If the interest is expressed without any mention of
regarding its capitalization, it is understood that it is
an annual capitalization. Example: 30%
capitalizable quarterly.
It is necessary for the annual interest to be
converted at the applicable rate of
agreement with the capitalization period. This
it is achieved in the following way:
Iannual
i period
conversion frequency
18
HOW TO CALCULATE THE FUTURE VALUE
WITH COMPOUND INTEREST?
The amount at compound interest is the
result obtained from incrementing to the
original capital (present value or investment
initial) the compound interest generated.
To say, if one wishes to invest a certain amount today
amount...
How much is received at the end of a certain time,
taking into account a certain rate
of interest?
19
HOW TO CALCULATE FUTURE VALUE
WITH COMPOUND INTEREST?
The formula used to calculate the
future value in a transaction with interest
composed is:
n
M C(1 i)
Where:
M = Future amount that is desired to be known
C = Initial capital
i = Tasa de interés compuesta (periódica)
n = number of times it is compounded

WITH COMPOUND INTEREST?
Example 5:
A person deposits $20,000 in an account of
savings at an interest rate of 35% per year
capitalizable monthly. What will be the
total accumulated after two years?
As a first step towards the solution, one must
take into account that time and the interest rate
they must always be expressed in the
same units as now will depend on the
capitalization period (frequency of
conversion). 21

WHAT DID WE LEARN?
1. Throughout the course, we learned to apply the
concepts of future value and present value in
the main financial operations, such as
the granting of loans and accounts of
savings or investment.
2. They learned to calculate and understand the
different interest rates such as: nominal,
effective, periodic, active, passive and real.
3. The accounts that make up the
main financial statements.
The primary indicators were revealed.
to evaluate the granting of a credit.
