9.1 Calculate principal, rate, and time
from simple interest formula.
Principal:
What is the principal needed to earn $100 interest
in 120 days at 9%.
$100 _ $100
p= —S100— _ $100 _
O09 xe ~ 0.03 ~ 8333338
What is the interest rate on a loan of $4,000 for
90 days that earns $50 in interest?
_ — $50 $50
4,000 x 98, ~ $1,000
What is amount of time for a loan of $7,000 at 6.5%
that earns $151.67 interest?
Te —SIS1.67__ _ $151.67
7,000 x 0.065 55
0.333 x 360 days = 120 days
= 0,333 years
| 9.2 Discount a note.
interest:
Maturity Vaiue:
A note for $2,000 at 9% due in 6 months, has been
discounted 14% thirty days before maturity date.
Calculate interest.
Pox RxT= 7
$2,000 x 0.09 x = $90.00
Calculate maturity value.
Pos iz M
$2,000 + $90 = $2,090
Calculate bank discount.
Mox DxTt= 2B
$2,090 x 0.14 x $9 = $24.38
Calculate proceeds.
Mo- 8B
$2,090 - $24.38 = $2,065.62
fa bank discounts a note when the note has a number
of days left before maturity, find the term of the dis-
count period after calculating the maturity value and
then calculate the bank discount and the proceeds.
9.3 Calculate compound interest.
{f $3,000 is invested for 2 years at 12% compounded
quarterly, compute the compound amount and
compound interest.
12% + 4 = 3% per quarter
4 petiods per year; 2 years x 4 = 8 periods
From Table 9-3, the value = 1.26677008
‘Compound value = $3,000 x 1.26677008
$3,800.31
‘Compound interest = $3,800.31 — $3,000 = $800.31
