 Compound Interest Application

What’s In
You have learned in your previous module about simple interest and compound
interest. Recall the previous topic by answering the activity below.

Match the terms in column A with the correct definitions in column B. Write the letter
of your answer on your answer sheet.
Column A Column B
1. Principal A. It is the time that the money is borrowed.
2. Term B. It is the amount paid or earned for the use of money.
3. Interest C. It is the percentage of increase of investment.
4. Maturity Value D. It is the amount received on repayment date.
5. Rate E. It is the amount of money borrowed or invested.

What’s New
As it was mentioned above, compound interest was introduced in the previous
module. This module will further discuss compound interest. Before you proceed to the
discussion, you are asked to answer the question below. Write your answer on your answer
sheet.

I was deposited in a bank last February 14, 2020

At 2% compounded monthly.
When I was withdrawn last May 14, 2020,
I became ₱1,005,008.34.

What number am I?

What Is It
To better understand compound interest, study lessons 1 to 4.

Lesson 1. Compound Interest (Compounded More Than Once a

Year)
The formulas presented in lesson 4 are used if interest is compounded once a year or
annually. There are situations where interests can be compounded more than once a year.
When we say compounded more than once a year, the interest is computed more than once
a year. It is either daily, monthly, quarterly (every 3 months), or semi-annually (twice a year).

To compute for the future value or maturity value of an amount compounded once or
more than once a year, we use F = P(1 + j ) .
n

4
 i
Where: j = , the interest rate per conversion period
m
i = nominal rate or annual interest rate
n = mt , refer to number of times that interest is compounded
m = frequency of conversions
F = future value or maturity value
P = principal or present value

From this formula, derive the formula of the present value. That is,
F = P(1 + j ) n

F P(1 + j ) n
=
(1 + j ) n (1 + j ) n
F
P= or P = F (1 + j ) − n
(1 + j ) n

Examples of nominal rates and the interest rate per conversion period with the
corresponding frequencies of conversion:

Nominal Rate Frequency of Interest rate per conversion One

(i ) conversion period conversion
(m ) ( j) period
3% compounded annually 1 0.03 1 year
i = 0.03 = 0.03 = 3%
1
3% compounded semi- 2 0.03 6 months
annually = 0.015 = 1.5%
2
i = 0.03
3% compounded quarterly 4 0.03 3 months
i = 0.03 = 0.0075 = 0.75%
4
3% compounded monthly 12 0.03 1 month
i = 0.03 = 0.0025 = 0.25%
12
3% compounded daily 365 0.03 1 day
i = 0.03 = 0.000082 = 0.0082 %
365

Examples:
1. A STEM student who got a scholarship asked his mom to keep the stipend given to him
quarterly. After he finished senior high school, he realized that he saved ₱50,000.00. He then
decided to deposit in a bank that offers 3% compounded monthly. How much will be his
money after 10 years? How much did he earn?
Given: P = 50,000.00 i = 0.03 t = 10 m = 12
Unknown: Maturity value ( F ) and interest ( I c )
Solution:
a. Compute for the interest rate in a conversion period.
i 0.03
j= = = 0.0025
m 12

b. Compute for the total number of conversion periods.

n = mt = 12(10) = 120

5
c. Compute for the maturity value.
F = P(1 + j ) n
F = 50,000.00(1 + 0.0025)120 Substitute the given
F = 67,467.68 Multiply
The maturity value after 10 years is ₱67,467.68.
d. Compute for the compound interest.
I c = F − P = 67,467.68 − 50,000.00 = 17,467.68
The amount earned after 10 years is ₱17,467.68.

2. An automotive student learned about business loan in General Mathematics. After which,
he started to plan a business. After finishing grade 12, he went to a bank and borrowed
₱100,000.00 and promised that he will pay the principal with an interest of 12% compounded
quarterly. After 6 months, he was able to pay everything in cash. How much did he repay?

b. Compute for the total number of conversion periods.
n = mt = 4(0.5) = 2
c. Compute for the maturity value.
F = P(1 + j ) n

F = 106,090.00 Multiply
The total amount he paid after 6 months is ₱106,090.00.

3. A Home Economics student borrowed money from a cooperative because she wants to
start a business by baking cakes. She chose to pay her loan in lump sum. After 3 years, she
went to the cooperative and paid ₱120,405.75. She was charged 3% compounded semi-
annually. How much money did she borrow?
Given: P = 120,405.75 i = 0.03 t =3 m=2

b. Compute for the total number of conversion periods.
n = mt = 2(3) = 6
c. Compute for the present value.
P = F (1 + j ) − n
P = 120,405.75(1 + 0.0075) −6 Substitute the given
P = 115,126.92 Multiply
The amount she borrowed was ₱115,126.92.
4. An engineer, who has a project, borrowed money from an individual lender. He paid
₱250,000.00 after 45 days. The money is worth 5% compounded daily.

P = 248,430.06 Multiply
The amount that the engineer borrowed was ₱248,430.06

Lesson 2. Finding Time in Compound Interest

Investors are interested to know the amount of time needed to accumulate a desired
amount in investing a certain amount of money.
Example:
1. How long will it take ₱5,000.00 to accumulate to ₱8,000.00 in a savings account at 3%
compounded monthly?
Given:
0.03
F = 8,000.00 P = 5,000.00 i = 0.03 m = 12 j= = 0.0025
12
Unknown: Time ( t )
Solution: F = P(1 + j )
n

8,000.00 = 5,000.00(1 + 0.0025) n Substitute the given

8000 .00

log1.6
n= Divide both sides of the equation by log 1.0025
log1.0025
n = 188 periods Simplify

n 188
Since n = mt , then t = = = 15.67 years.
m 12
It will take 188 months or 15.66 years for ₱5,000.00 to accumulate up to ₱8,000.00 at 3%
compounded monthly.

2. How long will it take ₱50,000.00 to earn ₱10,000.00 if the interest rate is 2% compounded
quarterly?

n

60,000.00 = 50,000.00(1 + 0.005) n Substitute the given

60,000.00

It will take 37 quarters or 9.25 years for ₱50,000.00 to earn ₱10,000.00 at 2% interest
compounded quarterly.

Lesson 3. Finding Interest Rate in Compound Interest

Interest rates vary due to different reasons. There are cases where it depends on
lending institution or individual lender. In banks or cooperatives, it depends on the type of
deposit account.

Example:
Type of deposit Required Required daily Interest rate (per annum)
account initial deposit balance to earn
interest
Easy Savings ₱100.00 ₱1,000.00
ATM Savings ₱2,000.00 ₱5,000.00
Passbook Savings ₱5,000.00 ₱8,000.00
None for less than
Advanced Savings ₱100,000.00 ₱100,000.00 ₱100,000.00
1% for ₱100,000 to
₱499,999.00
1.5% For ₱500,000.00 and
above

Example Problems:
1. At what nominal rate compounded semi-annually will ₱20,000.00 accumulate to
₱30,000.00 in 5 years?
Given:
F = 30,000.00 P = 20,000.00 t =5 m=2 n = 2(5) = 10

Lesson 4. Converting One Interest Rate to an Equivalent Interest
Rate
Definition of Terms
1. Equivalent rates – two annual rates with different conversion periods that will earn the
same compound amount at the end of a given number of years.
2. Nominal rate – annual interest rate (may be compounded more than once a year).
3. Effective rate – the rate compounded annually that will give the same compound
amount as a given nominal rate; denoted by i .

Example:
1. What effective rate is equivalent to 5% compounded semi-annually?
Given:
P1 = P1 t1 = t1 m1 = 1 ___compounded annually
P2 = P2 t2 = t2 m2 = 2 i2 = 0.05 5% compounded semi-annually
Unknown: Effective rate ( i1 )
Solution: Since the equivalent rates yield the same maturity value, then
F1 = F2
i1 m1t1 i
P1 (1 + ) = P2 (1 + 2 ) m2t2 Substitute the formula of F
m1 m2
i i
(1 + 1 ) m1t1 = (1 + 2 ) m2t2 Divide both sides by P
m1 m2
i i 1
(1 + 1 ) m1 = P(1 + 2 ) m2 Raise both sides to
m1 m2 t

i1 = 0.050625 Deduct 1
i1 = 5.06% Multiply by 100%
Hence, the effective rate equivalent to 5% compounded semi-annually is 5.06%.
2. Complete the table below:

a. 10% compounded monthly __________ compounded quarterly
b. 8% compounded quarterly __________ compounded semi-annually

a. Given:
P1 = P1 t1 = t1 m1 = 12 i1 = 0.10 10% compounded monthly
