CHAPTER 1
SIMPLE INTERESTAND SIMPLE DISCOUNT

INTEREST is the income received from invested capital. The invested capital is called the principal; at
any time after the investment of the principal, the sum of the principal plus the interest due is called
the amount. The interest charge is usually stated as a rate per cent of the principal per year.
If 𝑃 is the principal, 𝑟 is the rate expressed as a decimal, and 𝑖 the interest for 1 year, the by definition
𝑖
𝑖 = 𝑃𝑟 or 𝑟 =
𝑃
Example:
If $1000 earns $36.60 interest in one year what is the rate percent used?
36.60
𝑟= = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟑𝟔𝟔 or the rate is 3.66%.
1000

SIMPLE INTEREST is the income generated from the investment computed based on the principal
invested, the rate in which earning is determined, and the time in years over which investment is to
end. An investment is any business activity that generates income.
*Business activities may include “buy-and-sell”, “lending”, “depositing money in the bank”,
“catering services”, etc.
Formula
Simple Interest
Interest = Principal x rate x time
I= Prt
Where: P= principal or the sum invested
r = rate, expressed as decimal
t = time, expressed in years

Lesson 1.1: Types of Simple Interest


1. Ordinary Interest – requires that a year consists of 360 days
t=D/360 where: D- Number of days of investment

2. Exact Interest – requires that a year consist of 365 days.


t= D/365
 Approximate time – requires that a month consist of 30 days
 Exact time – requires the counting of actual number of days in a month

Examples:
Problem 1: Compute the ordinary and exact interest of 6% on Php8, 000 at the end of 71 days.
Solutions: P=8,000, r= 0.06, t= 71/360 or 71/365
71
Ordinary Interest: 𝐼 = (8,000)(. 06) ( ) = 94.67
360
71
Exact Interest: 𝐼 = (8,000)(. 06) ( ) = 93. 37
365
Time Between Dates
Time between dates refers to the period that has elapsed from a specified date to the next. The
common method of computing the time between two dates are the following steps:
a) Determine the corresponding number of days that have elapsed from the start of the year to the
specified dates.
b) Subtract the two periods to determine the number of days in between them.
Problem 2. Compute the actual and approximate time between March 29, 2008 and June 10, 2009.
Solutions:
a. Actual time
June 10, 2009: 161st day of 2009 (counting from January 1, 2009)
March 29, 2008: 88th day of 2008 (counting from January 1, 2008)
73 days + 1 year (subtracting the days and year)
Time between dates: 73 + 365= 438 days
b. Approximate time
June 10, 2009 March 29, 2008
Year: 2009 2008 = 1 or 360 days
Month: 4 2 = 2 or 60 days
Day: 40 29 = 11 days
Time between dates: 431 days

Since the number of days (10) in June is less than the number of days (29) in March, we convert one
month of 2009 to days and add them to the number of days (10) in June to make subtraction possible
with positive difference.
Problem 3: Find the simple interest on PHP8, 000 at 4% from March 15, 2009 to July 25, 2009.
Solutions:

Actual time:
July 25, 2009: 206th day of 2009
March 15, 2009: 74th day of 2009
132 days + 0
Time between dates: 132 days
Approximate time:
July 25, 2009 March 15, 2009
Year: 2009 2009 0
Month: 6 2 4 or 120 days
Day: 25 15 10 days
Time between dates: 130 days

Lesson 1.2: Accumulation and Discount at Simple Interest
Accumulation is increasing the value of an initial amount through a business activity while discount
is reducing a given amount to yield its original value.
An accumulated amount (F) is the total amount realized at the end of investment. It consists of the
amount of money (P) invested at the beginning of investment plus the interest (I) earned at the end of
investment. Thus;
Formula:
F=P+I
= P + Prt because I = Prt
= P (1 + rt) extracting the common factor P from the two terms
Example
Problem 4. If Php200, 000 is invested at 5% for 3 years, then find the total amount that is expected to be
realized at the end of the investment?
Solutions: Given: P= 200,000 r= 0.05 t= 3

F = P (1 + rt) = 200,000 [1 + (0.05) (3)] = Php230, 000.00


A discount (I) is an amount representing the difference between the investment’s future value (F)
and its present value (P).
Formula:
I=F–P
Example:
Problem 5. If the price (F) of a refrigerator is P23, 000 and this amount is discounted to a new price of P18,
500, then what is its discount amount?
I = F – P= 23,000 – 18, 500 = 5, 500
Problem 6. Php50, 000 is invested at 6% for 6 years. How much income is generated from the investment
at the end of the term?
Solution. Given: P = 50,000 r = 0.06 t=6 I =?
F = P (1 + rt) = 50,000 (1 + (.06) (6)) = Php68, 000
I = F – P = 68,000 – 50, 000 = Php18, 000
A discounted value (P) by way of simple interest is the present value of a given worth of investment which
accumulated by simple interest.

Lesson 1.3: Discounting a Promissory Note


A promissory note is a written promise to pay a stipulated amount, known as the maturity value, on
a specified date, known as the maturity date. The time between the notes is dated and the maturity date is
called the term of the note. The face value of the note may or may not include the interest. If the face value
is the same as its maturity value, then interest is already included in the face value, except when the note
specifies no interest to be charged.
Steps in computing for the discounted value (P*) of a promissory note
1. Compute first for the value of F at the give interest rate (r)
F = P (1 + rt)
2. Compute for the value of P* based on the value of F and at the given discount rate (d).
P* = F (1 – dt)
Problem 14: A promissory note with face value of Php65, 200, dated March 6, 2008, due in 70 days, bears
interest at 6%, and discounted for sale at 5% on April 20, 2008. What proceeds was generated from the
sale?
Solution: given: P = 65,200 r = 0.06 t = 70/360 d = 0.05
F = P (1 + rt) = 65,200(1 + 0.06 x 70/360) = Php65, 960.67
P* = F (1 – dt) = 65,960.67(1 – 0.05 x 26/360) = Php65, 722.48
So, the proceeds generated from sale is Php65, 722.48.
Problem 14: A note will mature in 25 months with expected value of Php1, 000,000. If this note was sold at
Php600, 000 after 10 months what discount rate was applied?
Solution: given: P = 65,200 r = 0.06 t = 70/360 d = 0.05
F = P (1 + rt) = 65,200(1 + 0.06 x 70/360) = Php65, 960.67
P* = F (1 – dt) = 65,960.67(1 – 0.05 x 26/360) = Php65, 722.48
So, the proceeds generated from sale of the promissory note is Php65, 722.48.

CHAPTER 2: COMPOUND INTEREST

COMPOUND INTEREST refers to that type of interest in which the interest due at the end of every
interval is added to the principal and thereafter earns interest over the whole period (or term) of
investment. The interval is the length of time in which the principal earns interest. The term consisting of
a set of intervals is the whole duration of investment. The sum realized at the end of the investment is
called compound amount or future value (F).

Working Formula
F  P(1 i)n
I = F – P = P(1 + i)n – P
= P[(1+i)n - 1]
Where: F – Compound amount (or final value of investment)
P – Principal (or invested capital)
i –interest rate per conversion period
j –nominal rate (or interest per year)
n –number of interest conversion over the term of investment
The factor (1 + i)n is called the accumulation factor of the principal P
Examples
Problem 1: Pedro, was contemplating of investing his Php50, 400 to a commercial bank that offers interest
at 6.5 % compounded annually for four years. If he has pushed through with his plan, then how much has
his money become after four years?
Solution: Given: P = 50,400 j = .065 m=1 t=4
i = j/m = 0.065/1 = 0.065
n = mt = 1(4) = 4
F = P(1 + i)n = 50,400(1 + 0.065)4 = Php64,837.90

Problem 2: Find the compound interest to be earned if a capital of Php25, 000 is invested for 6 years at 6%
compounded quarterly
Solution: given P = 25,000 j = 0.06 t=6 m=4
i = j/m = 0.06/4 = 0.015
n = mt = (4)(6) = 24
I = P [(1+i)n – 1] = 25,800[(1+0.015)24 – 1] = Php11,081.17

1. Find the compound amount if a capital of Php100, 500 is invested for 20.5 years at a) 5% compounded
annually, b) 3% compounded bimonthly.
2. Suppose that a capital of Php20, 000 is invested now for a term of 10 years at the rate of 4% compounded
quarterly for the first 6 years and then at 6% compounded semiannually for the remaining 4 years, find the
sum to be yielded at the end of the term.

Simple Discount, discounting a given amount F, determined by way of compound interest, is the same as
finding its present value P on the date which is n interest intervals before F is due. In this case, P is viewed
as the discounted value of the accumulated amount, F, at any given time.
Formula

Problem 3: The man who shopped online, is arguing that the reason he ordered a pair of shoes is because
of the discount that the owner allegedly posted in the internet. The original price of the item is Php6, 500
and the discount is allegedly pegged at 12% compounded monthly for 8 months. So the man computed the
discounted value and accordingly paid the amount via credit card. However, there was no delivery at all
within the indicated time of 3 days. Upon verification, the owner informed the man that the discount is no
longer in effect and he need to pay the original price in order to get the item. How much more should the
man pay in order to get his order?
Solution: given F = 6,500; j = 0.12; m = 12; t = 8 mos. = 2/3 yr
i = j/m = 0.12/12 = 0.01
n = mt = 12(2/3) = 8
P = 6,500/ (1+0.01)8 = 6, 002.64
I = F – P = 6,500 - 6, 002.64 = 497.36
So, the man needs to pay Php497.36 more in order to get the item.

1. In order to be able to purchase a parcel of land worth Php800, 000 five years from now, how much
money should be invested today at 8% interest compounded semiannually?
2. Determine if these transactions are the same: a) accumulating an amount of Php50, 000 at 7%
simple interest for 15 years and then discounting the result at 7% simple discount for 5 years, and
b) accumulating the given amount at 7% simple interest for 10 years?
Nominal and Effective Rates
Nominal rate (j) is the statement of rate per year based on which the compound interest rate per
conversion period is determined.
Effective rate (w) is the rate of interest earned in one year. It is equal to nominal rate compounded
annually. So, the statement of interest, “3% effective”, is equivalent to the statement of interest, “3%
compounded annually.
Working Formula

Examples
Problem 4: What is the effective rate corresponding to the nominal rate of 8% compounded bimonthly?
Solution: given: j = 0.08 and m = 6
w = (1 + 0.08/6)6 – 1 = 0.082715 = 8.27%
Problem 5: What nominal rate compounded quarterly is required to yield a 5% effective rate?
Solution: given w = 0.05 and m=4

company offer so that Juana will receive the same amount of income should she decide to invest in this
company?
Solution: given: j1 = 0.06, m1 = 12, m2 = 2

Chapter 3: Annuity
Annuity is the sequence of periodic payment of equal sums of money until the debt is fully paid. The
time between the dates of any two successive payments is called payment interval. The time from the
beginning of the first payment interval to the last payment interval is called the term of the annuity.
The annuity whose term begins immediately is called ordinary annuity while the annuity whose term
begins after certain period of time is called deferred annuity.
Present Value and Amount of Annuity
Working formulas for determining the annuity’s present value and accumulated amount.
Case 1: Periodic payment is given.
Let A denotes the present value of the annuity and S denotes the amount of the annuity. Then it can be
shown that the formulas for A and S are as follows:
𝑝[1−(1+𝑖)−𝑛 ] 𝑝[(1+𝑖)𝑛−1]
𝐴= And 𝑆=
𝑖 𝑖

Case 2: Either the annuity’s present value (A) or its accumulated amount (S) is given. Then
A  S(1 i)n and S  A(1 i)n
Where: p - periodic payment m – number of interest period in a year

j –interest rate per year t – term of annuity in years

i -interest rate for a payment interval n - total number of payment intervals

i = j/m n = mt
Examples:
Problem 1: The realtor appearing in the picture at the right is selling a house and lot that requires payment

monthly, find a) the cash value of the house and lot and b) the worth of the house and lot, just after the last
payment.
Solutions: Given: p = 25, 500, j = 0.12, m = 12, t = 10, i = 0.12/12 = 0.01,

a) how much does the buyer pay if he opts to pay in full the present price of the vehicle and b) how much
is the worth of the vehicle if the agreement is to be pursued?
Solutions:
a) The present value of the vehicle is its cash price which is composed of the down payment and the
present value of the annuity that is formed with the given interest rate. From the problem, p =
Php25, 000; j = 0.06; m = 12; t = 3. Thus, i = 0.06/12 = 0.005; n = 12(3) = 36.
A = down payment + present value of the annuity that is formed
25,000(1−1.005−36)
= 300, 000 +
0.005
= Php1, 121,775.41
b) The worth of the vehicle at the end of the term is the sum of the future value of the cash paid at the
beginning and the amount of the annuity that is formed.

Problem 3. (With remaining liability after some payments have been made ). In order to finance his college
studies, a student borrowed money from a bank that charges interest of 8% compounded quarterly. If the
student is required to pay Php1, 500 at the end of each 4 months for 4 years, how much is a) the amount
borrowed by the student, b) the remaining unpaid amount just after the 6th payment is made.
Solutions:
a. The amount borrowed is the present value of the 4-year term annuity of Php1500 payable quarterly.
From the data, p = 1500; j = 0.08; m = 4, t = 4; hence, I = 0.02 and n = 16.

b. The balance amount just after the 6th payment is the present value of the last 10 payments that
have remained unpaid.

Problem 4. (With payment failure for some periods of time ). A man issued a check as down payment for
the purchase of a residential lot and agrees to pay Php4000 every end of 4 months for 6 years. After making
the first three payments, he stopped paying for the next two years. At the end of the third year, he decided
to make a single payment of his liability to complete the purchase of the lot. How much more money should
he pay if interest is 9% compounded every end of 4 months?
Solution
The total amount that he should pay includes the accumulated value of the 6 unpaid installments
and the present value of the payments yet to be made for the remainder of the term. From the problem, p
= 4000; m = 3; j = 0.09; t = 6; thus, i = 0.03 and n = 18.
Let B be the total balance amount to be paid immediately on a single installment. Then
4000(1.036 − 1) 4000(1 − 1.03−9 )

Problem 1: The prevailing average cash price of medium size and brand new refrigerators that are being
sold at the super mart in La Trinidad, Benguet, is Php15, 000. These refrigerators can be bought on
installment basis lasting from 32 six months to at most three years. For an installment lasting for two years,
the average interest charge is 6% compounded monthly. How much is the monthly installment lasting for
two years is required to purchase these kinds of refrigerator?
Solution
The cash price of Php15000 is the present value of all future monthly payments at 6% effective (or
annual) interest during the term of the annuity. Thus, A = 15,000; j = 0.06; m = 12; t= 2. Also, i = j/m=

Problem 2: After graduating from high school, a student decided to work for 3 years in a furniture shop to
earn money to finance his 2-year college studies. He projected that after 3 years, his intended course would
cost him approximately Php30, 000. How much money must he deposit at the end of each 3 months to a
saving account that charges interest at 8% compounded quarterly in order to accumulate the fund?
Solution
The amount of Php30, 000 is the total worth of his quarterly payments at the given interest rate for
3 years. So, S = 30,000; j=0.08; m = 4; t = 3. Consequently, i = .08/4 = 0.02; n=4(3) = 12.

Problem 1: In an investment venture worth 12% compounded monthly, a freshman college IT student plans
to build a capital of Php50, 000 that he hopes will be sufficient to buy a computer unit that will enable him
to start an IT-related business sometime after graduation by depositing to a cooperative credit business
Php500 every end of a month as long as necessary until the target amount will have been accumulated.
How long will it take the fund to be generated? How much is the final amount left to be paid after the last
Php500 will have been paid?
Solution
50,000(0.01)
log ( + 1)

𝑡= = 5.805 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠
12 log(1.01)

For the total number of payments:


n = mt = 12(5.805) = 69.66
In computing the final payment after the last Php500 will have been paid, accumulate the value of
the annuity, S, using the formula in computing final amount with simple interest. Here, the time, t, is the
year equivalent of the fractional value of n, and r is, as usual, the interest rate per year. Thus,
S = 500(1.0169 – 1)/0.01 = 49344.72, r = 12% = 0.12, and t = 0.66/12 = 0.055.
Final payment = Srt = 49344.72(0.12) (0.055) = Php325.68

Problem 2: In acquiring a laptop with a cash price of Php40, 000, a student agrees to pay a monthly
installment of Php500. If the interest is pegged at 3% compounded monthly, how long will he be able to
fully pay the worth of his debt? How much is the final payment?
Solution
The type of annuity illustrated in the problem is that of a diminishing annuity where the present value is
to be diminished by a sequence of payments. Therefore, the second formula should be used to compute
for the time of annuity termination.
40,000(0.0025)
log(1− 500
)
𝑡=
12 log(1.0025)
= 7.4474 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠, and n = mt = 12(7.4474) = 89.37
Thus the annuity will terminate in 7.4474 years or after 90 payments with the last payment
amount less than the regular amount of Php500.
The final payment will be computed similarly as above. Thus
Final payment = Srt = 49769.803(0.03)(0.031) = Php46.286

agreed that each will deposit Php2, 000 at the end of every month to an account in a bank. If the
bank offered an interest rate of 4% compounded monthly, then how long will they be depositing
before they can raise the amount? If they extend their paying time by 4 years more, how much is the
reduction in their individual deposit?

2. In order to raise fund worth Php10, 000,000, a man started depositing Php50, 000 at the end of

Annuity Due
An annuity due is an annuity whose payment happens immediately or at the beginning of each payment
period.

Examples
Problem 1: Find the present value of an annuity of Php100 payable at the beginning of each 3 months for 2
years if interest is pegged at 8% compounded quarterly?
Solution: The present value of the annuity due is the sum of the first payment and the present value of the
ordinary annuity consisting of 7 (or n-1) future payments. Thus

Deferred Annuity
A deferred annuity is an annuity whose term begins after the lapse of a specified time. The present
value of this type of annuity is the sum of the present values of all future payments computed from present
time onward minus the present value of the supposed payments for the duration of the period of
deferment.

Today, he is being asked to start to payback by paying Php500 at the end of each month for 6 years, starting
on the first month of the 6th year onward. If the payments include interest of 3% compounded monthly,
how much money was borrowed?
Solution: The amount borrowed 5 years ago is the sum of the present values, at that time, of the monthly
payment of Ph500 for the span of 11 years (or 132 payments) from the date the loan was granted up to the
time it will be fully paid minus the sum of the present values of the supposed payments for the duration of
the deferment period which is 5 years (or 60 payment intervals). Thus

quarter of the second year, how much is his quarterly payment?
Solution: The period of deferment consisted of 5 payment intervals the last of which is the first quarter of
the second year. The actual quarterly payments start at the end of the second quarter of the second year
and continued onward for a sequence of 12 payments. Thus, using either formula above,

Value of Annuity on Arbitrary Date Beyond the Term for Payments at the Beginning and at the End of an
Interval
The value of the annuity on a date beyond its term for payments occurring at the ends of the
intervals is the accumulated value of an ordinary annuity with term that ends on that date minus the
accumulated value of the annuity that has no actual payments. The value of the annuity on a date beyond
its term for payments occurring at the beginnings of the intervals is the accumulated value of the annuity
due at the end of the term by k intervals beyond the term.
Working Formula
Let k be the arbitrary number of intervals falling beyond the term, and n the total number of intervals
in the term. Then
Case 1: Value of the annuity on arbitrary date, k, beyond the term for payments occurring at the e nds
of the intervals.

Problem 1: A student decided to build a capital that will enable him to start a business after he will graduate
4 years from today by depositing in a bank Php400 every end of each month for 4 years. If interest is set at
24% compounded monthly, how much is the accumulated value of his money at the end of 5 years?
Solution
The accumulated value of the money at the end of 5 years is the value of the ordinary annuity with 60
payment intervals minus the value of the annuity with 12 payment intervals. The subtraction of the value
of the annuity with 12 payments is justified by the fact that there were no actual payments made on these
intervals.
𝑝(1+𝑖)𝑘 [(1+𝑖)𝑛−1] 400(1.02)12[(1.02)48−1]

𝑖 0.02

Problem 2: If deposit is made at the beginning of each payment interval in problem 1, what is the value of
the money at the end of 5 years?
Solution
The accumulated value of the money at the end of 5 years is the value that will result when the amount of
the annuity due at the end of 4 years is accumulated by one more year (or 12 intervals). This situation is
accounted in the formula below:
400(1.02)13 [(1.02)48−1]
𝑆= = 𝑃ℎ𝑝41, 060.90

Problem 3: In building a capital of Php80, 000 at the end of 6 years, a graduating student deposited
Php10, 000 4 years ago and will be depositing equal amount of money at the end of every 2 months for the
fifth year. How much is the periodic payment if interest is set at 10% compounded bimonthly?
Solution
The amount of periodic payment can be determined from the equation of values that may be formed at the
end of the fifth year which is the end of the term of the annuity. The values to be equated are the discounted
value of the amount at the end of 6 years by k intervals and the sum of the accumulated value of the annuity
with n payment intervals and accumulated amount of the cash paid with m-k intervals before the start of
the term of the annuity. This situation is encapsulated in the formula below:
𝑆−𝐶(𝑖+1)𝑚
𝑝= 𝑖
(1+𝑖)𝑘 [(1+𝑖)𝑛 −1
Where: S – amount at the end of the final period (time at D)
C – Cash paid at the beginning of investment (time at A)
m – Total number of intervals within the whole duration of investment (between A and D)
k – Number of intervals beyond the end of the term of the annuity (between C and D)
n – Total number of payment intervals of the annuity (between B and C)
Thus,
80,000−10,000(1.05)36
