What’s In
On the previous modules, the basic concepts on functions were introduced. Functions
were used as mathematical models. These are abstract models that use mathematical language
to describe relationships. With the notion of mathematical modeling, mathematics is concerned
not only with the measures of the physical world but it has also expanded its applicability to
sciences, both social and biological, business, and finance. So with this, lessons relating to
business and finance will then be introduced specifically on simple interest.
What’s New
“When you saved money in the bank, you will gained an interest paid by the bank. On
the other hand, when you borrow money, you are charged an interest on the amount you
borrowed. How does gained and charged interests computed?”
A debtor pay the bank an amount which is more than the amount they borrowed. An
investor may withdraw from the bank more than the amount deposited. This additional sum is
called INTEREST.
Definition of terms:
Lender or creditor – person (or institution) who invests the money or makes the funds
available.
Borrower or debtor – person (or institution) who owes the money or avails of the funds from
the lender.
Origin or loan date – date on which money is received by the borrower.
Repayment date or maturity date – date on which the money borrowed or loaned is to be
completely repaid.
Time or term (t) – amount of time in years the money is borrowed or invested; length of time
between the origin and maturity dates.

Principal or present value (P) – amount of money borrowed or invested on the origin date.
Rate of interest or simply rate (r) – annual rate, usually in percent, charged by the lender, or
rate of increase of the investment.
Interest (I) – amount paid or earned for the use of money.
Maturity Value or Future Value (F) – amount after t years that the lender receives from the
borrower on the maturity date; equal to the sum of principal and the interest earned.
What is It
Simple Interest (Is)
For every financial transaction, whether you borrowed or invested a certain amount P,
a corresponding percentage of the principal called interest is being paid. Simple Interest (Is)
is the interest charged on the principal alone for the entire duration or period t of the loan or
investment, at a particular rate r. After the term of the loan or investment, the maturity value
or future value F is computed by getting the sum of the principal and the interest due.

What I Have Learned
Problems Involving Simple Interest
1. A bank offers 1.5% annual simple interest rate for a particular deposit. How much
interest will be earned if 1 million pesos is deposited in this savings account for 1 year?
Solution:
Given: r = 1.5% or 0.015 ; P = ₱1,000,000.00 ; t = 1 year
𝐼𝑠 = 𝑃𝑟𝑡
𝐼𝑠 = ₱1,000,000.00 (0.015)(1)
𝑰𝒔 = ₱𝟏𝟓, 𝟎𝟎𝟎.00
Therefore, an interest amounting to ₱15,000.00 will be earned if 1 million pesos is

deposited in a savings account for 1 year with 1.5% annual simple interest rate.

2. When invested at an annual interest rate of 7%, the amount earned ₱11,200.00 of simple
interest in 2.5 years. How much money was originally invested?
Solution:
Given: r = 7% or 0.07 ; 𝐼𝑠 = ₱11,200.00 ; t = 2.5 years
𝐼𝑠
𝑃=
𝑟𝑡
₱11,200.00
𝑃=
0.07(2.5)
𝑷 = ₱64,000.00
Therefore, the amount of money originally invested was ₱64,000.00.
3. Ricky borrowed ₱25,000.00 and paid ₱1,250.00 interest for 6 months. What was the
rate of interest?
Solution:
6
Given: P = ₱25,000.00 ; 𝐼𝑠 = ₱1,250.00 ; t=
12
year or 0.5 year
𝐼𝑠
𝑟=
𝑃𝑡
₱1,250.00
𝑟=
₱25,000.00(0.5)
𝒓 = 0.1 or 10%
Therefore, the rate of interest was 0.1 or 10%.
4. How long in years will it take for ₱17,300.00 to amount to ₱20,000.00 at 11.25%
simple interest?
Solution:
Given: P = ₱17,300.00 ; F = ₱20,000.00 ; r = 11.25% or 0.1125
𝐼𝑠 = 𝐹 − 𝑃
𝐼𝑠 = ₱20,000.00 − ₱17,300.00
𝐼𝑠 = ₱2,700
𝐼𝑠
𝑡=
𝑃𝑟
₱2,700
𝑡=
₱17,300.00(0.1125)
𝒕 = 𝟏. 𝟑𝟗 years
Therefore, it will take 1.39 years for ₱17,300.00 to amount to ₱20,000.00.

Lesson
Compound Interest
2
What I Need to Know
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:

1. define compound interest;
2. compute compound interest, maturity value and present value;
3. differentiate simple from compound interest; and
4. solve problems involving compound interest.
What’s In
Problems involving simple interest were discussed on the previous lesson. Simple
interest is the interest charged on the principal alone for the entire length of the loan or
investment. Several formulas were introduced to solve problems involving simple interest. The
second type of interest that will be discussed on this lesson is the compound interest. For many
long-term financial transactions, compound interest is used instead of simple interest.
What’s New
“Suppose you won ₱10,000.00 and you plan to invest if for 5 years. A cooperative
group offers 2% simple interest rate per year. A bank offers 2% compounded annually. Which
will you choose and why?”
Definition of terms:
Compound amount (F) – also called maturity value, it is an accumulated amount obtained by
adding the principal and the compound interest.
Conversion period (m) – the number of times in a year the interest will be compounded.
The following are the common conversion periods in a year:
annually : m=1
semi-annually : m=2
quarterly : m=4
monthly : m = 12
10

Number of conversion periods (n) – the total number of times interest is calculated for the
entire term of the investment or loan.
Annual interest rate or nominal rate (r) – the stated rate of interest per year.
Periodic rate (i) – the interest rate per conversion period.
Present value of F (P) – this is the principal P, that will accumulate to F if there is an interest
at periodic rate i for n conversion periods.
What is It
Compound Interest (Ic)
Compound interest (Ic) is usually used by banks in calculating interest for long-term
investments and loans such as savings account and time deposits. In this type of interest, the
interest due at stipulated interval is added to the principal and earns interest thereafter. It implies
that the principal increases over a period of time, resulting to an increase in interest earned at
every compounding period. Thus, compound interest is an interest resulting from the periodic
addition of simple interest to the principal amount or simply the difference between the
compound amount and the original principal.
The problem below is an example of compound interest.
Example:
₱50,000.00 was loaned for a period of 3 years with 5% interest compounded annually.
What amount of money will be needed to repay the loan?
Principal at
Amount at the end of the
the start of Interest
year
the year
₱50,000 + 2 500 =
First Year ₱50,000.00 ₱50,000 × 0.05 × 1 = ₱2,500.00
₱52,500.00
₱52,500 + 2625 =
Second Year ₱52,500.00 ₱52,500 × 0.05 × 1 = ₱2,625.00
₱55,125.00
₱55,125 + 2 756.25 =
Third Year ₱55,125.00 ₱55,125 × 0.05 × 1 = ₱2,756.25
₱57,881.25
The required answer to the problem is ₱57,881.25.
11

As shown in the table, the amount at the end of the year is equal to the sum of the
principal and the interest for that year.
Thus,
Amount for First Year : A = 50000 + (50000 × 0.05)

= 50000 (1 + 0.05)
Amount for Second Year: A = 50000 (1 + 0.05) + (50000 (1 + 0.05)(0.05))

= 50000 (1 + 0.05) (1 + 0.05)
= 50000 ( 1 + 0.05)2
Amount for Third Year: A = 50000 (1 + 0.05)2 + (50000 ( 1 + 0.05)2(0.05))

= 50000 (1 + 0.05)2 (1 + 0.05)
= 50000 (1 + 0.05)3
Generally, when interest is compounded annually for n years, the amount A = P( 1 + i) n.
Computation of the compound amount by the method shown above is tedious and time-
consuming. The formulas below will greatly ease computations.

What I Have Learned
Problems Involving Compound Interest
1. Joseph borrows ₱50,000.00 and promise to pay the principal and interest at 12%
compounded monthly. How much must he repay after 6 years?
Solution:
Given: P = ₱50,000.00 m = 12
r = 12% or 0.12 t = 6 years
𝑟 0.12
𝑖=𝑚= 12
= 0.01 𝑛 = 𝑚𝑡 = 12(6) = 72
𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + 𝑖 ) 𝑛
𝐹 = ₱50,000.00(1 + 0.01 )72
𝑭 = ₱𝟏𝟎𝟐, 𝟑𝟓𝟒. 𝟗𝟕
Therefore, Joseph must repay ₱102,354.97 after 6 years.
2. A loan ₱125,000.00 at 8% compounded quarterly was paid back with an amount of

₱176,000.00 at the end of the period. For how long was the money borrowed?
Solution:
Given: P = ₱125,000.00 r = 8% or 0.08

F = ₱176,000.00 m=4
𝑟 0.08
𝑖= = = 0.02

3. How much must be invested today in a savings account in order to have ₱50,800.00
in 6 years and 9 months if money earns 5.4% compounded semi-annually?
Solution:
9
Given: F = ₱50,800.00 t = 6 12 years or 6.75 years
r = 5.4% or 0.054 m=2
𝑟 0.054
𝑖= = = 0.027 𝑛 = 𝑚𝑡 = 2(6.75) = 13.5
𝑚 2
𝑃 = 𝐹 (1 + 𝑖 )−𝑛
𝑃 = ₱50,800.00(1 + 0.027)−13.5
𝑷 = ₱𝟑𝟓, 𝟒𝟓𝟑. 𝟕𝟗
Therefore, an amount of ₱35,453.79 must be invested today.
