5.1 SIMPLE INTEREST
Simple interest | Future and Maturity Value

OBJECTIVES
• Calculate simple interest
• Calculate future and maturity values

SIMPLE INTEREST

Suppose Person A agrees to lend Person B


some amount of money. This amount is
called the principal. After an agreed
period of time, Person B has to pay the
loan with an additional amount called the
interest. The percent used to determine
the amount of interest is called the
interest rate.

For instance, if Person A lends PhP 10,000


to Person B and charging a 5% interest per
year, then the amount PhP 10,000 is the
principal while 5% is the interest rate.

5.2 COMPOUND INTEREST
Compound interest | Present Value | Inflation | Effective Interest Rate

OBJECTIVES
• Calculate compound interest and future
value of a compound interest.

• Calculate present value.

• Estimate prices, purchasing power, and


future values due to inflation.

• Calculate nominal and effective rates.

COMPOUND INTEREST

Most institutions apply simple interest only


when the term of the loan or deposit is less
than the period (e.g., a deposit of less than
one year for an annual interest rate). If the
term covers more than one period
compound interest is applied.

The principle of this computation is that


interest is earned not only by the principle,
but also by the interest that have already
been earned. For example, if interest have
already been earned in the first year, then
that interest will also earn its own interest
on the next year.

Present Value Formula


Remark
The present value is used to determine how much
money must be invested today in order for an
investment to have a specific value at a future date.

Example
How much money should be invested in an account
that earns 8% interest compounded quarterly in

INFLATION

CTU GEC Training 2020 | GEC-MMW Mathematics in the Modern World 20


INFLATION

Inflation is an economic condition during


which there are increases in the costs and
services.
In the past few years, the following were
the recorded inflation rates:

Example Solution
If a 50-kg sack of rice is currently priced PhP 2 200,
estimate its price in 10 years.

CTU GEC Training 2020 | GEC-MMW Mathematics in the Modern World 23


Purchasing Power
Purchasing power is the measure of how much a
future value is worth in today’s money. For
example, an amount of PhP 10,000 in 2050 has
a purchasing power of only PhP 4 767.43.

In other words, 10 thousand pesos in 2050 is


worth only 4.7 thousand in todays money. What
you can buy for 10 thousand pesos in 2050 is
about the same as what you can by for 4.7
thousand pesos today.

Purchasing Power Formula


Example
You purchased an insurance for PhP 75 000. The company
promises to grant you the amount of PhP 200 000 when
you retire in 2067. Calculate the purchasing power of this
amount. Was this a good purchase?

Solution

Practice
The US inflation rate is steady at 6.1%. If John expects
an amount of USD 200 000 for his retirement in
2030, calculate the purchasing power of this
amount. Will he be able to buy a house that’s worth
about USD 100,000 today?

EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATES

CTU GEC Training 2020 | GEC-MMW Mathematics in the Modern World 26


Effective Interest Rate
The annual interest rate that is compounded during
some period is called the nominal rate. The effective
rate is the simple interest rate that would yield the
same amount of interest after one year.

Example
A bank offers a savings account that pays 2.75%
annual interest compounded quarterly. What is
this bank’s nominal rate and effective rate?

TRUTH IN LENDING ACT
R.A. 3765

RA 3765 otherwise known as the “Truth in


Lending Act” protects citizens from the
lack of awareness of the true cost of
credit to the user by assuring a full
disclosure of such cost with a view of
preventing the uninformed use of credit
to the detriment of the national economy.
Section 4. Any creditor shall furnish to
each person whom credit is extended,
prior to the consummation of the
transaction, a clear statement in writing
setting forth, to the extent applicable and
in accordance with the rules and
regulations prescribed by the Board, the
following information:

CTU GEC Training 2020 | GEC-MMW Mathematics in the Modern World 32


TRUTH IN LENDING ACT
R.A. 3765

1) the cash price or delivered price of the


property or service to be acquired;
2) the amounts, if any, to be credited as
down payment and/or trade-in;
3) the difference between the amounts
set forth under clauses (1) and (2);
4) the charges individually itemized,
which are paid or to be paid by such
person in connection with the
transaction but which are not incident
to the extension of credit;
5) the total amount to be financed;

6) the finance charge expressed in terms


of pesos and centavos; and,
7) the percentage that the finance bears
to the total amount to be financed
expressed as a simple annual rate on
the outstanding unpaid balance of the
obligation.

CTU GEC Training 2020 | GEC-MMW Mathematics in the Modern World 34


FINANCE CHARGES

When a customer uses a credit card to


make a purchase, the customer is actually
receiving a loan. Therefore, there is
frequently an added cost to the consumer
who purchases on credit. This added cost
may be in the form of an annual fee or
interest charges on purchases. A finance
charge is an amount paid in excess of the
cash price; it is the cost to the customer
for the use of credit.

CTU GEC Training 2020 | GEC-MMW Mathematics in the Modern World 35


• Most credit card companies issue monthly bills.

• The due date on the bill is usually 1 month after


the billing date (the date the monthly bill is
prepared and sent to the customer). It is also
common that a fixed date is set in the issuance of
bills, e.g. every 10th of the month.

• If the bill is paid in full by the due date, the


customer pays no finance charge.

• If the bill is not paid in full by the due date, a


finance charge is added to the next bill.

Note
To determine monthly interest rate, simply divide the
annual interest rate by 12. So since the interest rate in
our example is 24%, the monthly interest rate would
be 2%.

ANNUAL PERCENTAGE
RATE
Section 4, clause (7) of RA 3765 specifies
that the lender has to declare the simple
annual rate. In actuarial terms, this is
called the annual percentage rate
(sometimes true annual interest rate or
annual percentage yield) or APR.
The clause also specifies that the interest
is owed only to the unpaid balance of
the loan. Because of this, the simple
interest rate which takes effect every due
date may change every time. The APR is
a measure that gives the true annual
interest rate of the loan.

LOAN PAYOFFS
Sometimes, the customer would want to payoff
(pay the remaining balance) of a loan even
before its term ends. The most common reason
why people do this is so that they could avail or
open a new set of loan.
For example, if you still have 1 year remaining
term for a loan, and you want to take another
loan so you payoff this remaining year. This is
not as simple as just multiplying your monthly
payment by 12 because these payments are
assumed to have accumulated interests for the
next 12 months. But since these 12 months have
not yet arrived, interest should not be charged
on them.

STOCKS
Stocks are measured in shares. A share of
stock in a company is a certificate that
indicates partial ownership of the
company. The owners of the certificates
are called shareholders or stockholders.
To become a stockholder, an investor
should purchase stocks through a broker.
In the Philippines there are dozens of
brokerage companies and the Philippine
Stock Exchange requires all transactions
to be done through them. Brokers earn
commission for all the transactions they
serve for the investors.
There can be three ways for a someone to
earn from this investment scheme: cash
dividends, stock dividends, and buying

BONDS
Bonds are certificates issued by a corporation to
a company called a bondholder. Upon issuance
of the certificate, the bondholder will lend
money of a specified sum and with a specified
annual interest rate and duration to the issuing
corporation.

invest and there is no limit on the number of
bonds purchased.

MUTUAL FUNDS
An investment trust is a company whose
assets are stocks and bonds. The purpose
of these companies is not to manufacture
a product or offer a service but to
purchase stocks and bonds with the hope
that their value will increase. A mutual
fund is an example of an investment trust.
The main feature of investing in a mutual
fund is that your money is managed by
full-time professionals whose job is to
research and evaluate stocks. That means
you own stocks without having to buy
them personally or decide when to sell
them.
These funds would buy stocks and bonds
from multiple companies diversifying
your funds.
