Calculate the interest compounded daily using a table
Some loans may use compounding formula to calculate the
interest amount. In this case, the interest is calculated more
than one time during the term of the loan or investment and the
interest of a period is added to the principal before the interest
of the next period is calculated. So, the interest of one period
also earns some interest in the next period.
The process of adding interest to the principal before calculating
the interest amount for the next period is called compounding
interest.
There are two or more interest periods when the interest is
compounded. The interest period can be one day, one week,
one month, one quarter, one year, or any portion of the year.
The more the number of interest periods, the higher the
amount of total interest will be because the interest of more
interest periods contribute to the total interest amount.
future value or maturity value or compound amount is the
sum of compound interest and the original principal.
CALCULATE THE FUTURE VALUE AND THE COMPOUND INTEREST
AMOUNT BY COMPOUNDING MANUALLY
Use table to find the compound interest on a $5000 loan for six years at 8%, compounded
annually.
Solution:
8% = 0.08
Total interest periods = number of years x number of interest periods per year
= 6x1=6
Interest rate per period = 0.08 / 1 = 0.08
The table 10-1 value for row = 6 and column = 8% is 1.58687
Future value = principal x table value
= $5,000 x 1.58687 = $7,934.35
Total compound interest = $7,934.35 - $5,000 = $2,934.35
Example 2:
The following formula can be used to find the future value (FV).
FV = P(1 + R)N
Where FV is the future value; R is interest rate per period ; n is the total number of periods.
Example 1:
Find the future value and total interest amount of a $5,000 investment that earns 6% compounded monthly after 3 years.
Solution:
6% = 0.06 ; R = Interest rate per period
Total interest periods = number of years x number of interest periods per year
= 3 x 12 = 36
R = 0.06 / 12 = 0.005
FV = $5,000 (1 + 0.005)36
= $5,000 (1.005)36
= $5,000 x 1.19668
= $5,983.40
Total interest amount = FV - Original principal
= $5,983.40 - $5,000
= $983.40
How can we compare two loans with different interest rates and number of periods
compounded a year? To make such comparison we need to convert both to a rate of
interest called, effective rate.
The effective rate equates the compound interest rates to equivalent simple interest
rates so that a comparison can be made. The effective rate is also referred to as the
annual percentage yield (APY).
Here is how to find the effective interest rate of a compound interest rate
Effective annual interest rate = compound interest for first year / principal
We can also find the effective interest rate by using table 13-1 by using the formula
formula.
Effective annual interest rate = [ (future value of $1.00 after 1 year - $1.00) / $1.00 ]
* 100%

Example 1: TO DETERMINE PROPERTY TAX VALUES
John borrowed $6,000 at 10% compounded semiannually. What is the effective rate?
Solution:
10% = 0.10
Interest rate per period = 0.10 / 2 = 0.05
First end-of-period principal = $6,000 (1 + 0.05)
= $6,000 (1.05) = $6,300
Second end-of- period principal = $6,000 (1 + 0.05)
= $6,300 (1.05) = $6,615
Compound interest after first year = $6,615 - $6,000 = $615
Effective interest after first year = ($615 / $6,000) * 100%
= 0.1025 * 100% = 10.25%
To use Table, we go to the row of 2 (for two periods) and the column
of 5% and read the value at the intersection of the row and column.
This value is 1.10250.
Effective annual interest rate = [ (future value of $1.00 after 1 year -
$1.00) / $1.00 ] * 100%
Effective annual interest rate = [ (1.10250 – 1) / 1 ] * 100%
= [ 0.10250 / 1 ] * 100%
= 0.10250 * 100% = 10.25%
Calculate the interest compounded daily using a table
To find the compounded daily interest using a table we follow the steps below:
We first determine the amount of money the table uses as the principal ($1, $100, or $1000).
Then, divide the loan principal by table principal.
Then, using Table 10-2 find the days row and interest rate column corresponding to the interest
rate of the loan and find the value at the intersection of this row and column.
Finally, multiply the value from the resul t of step 2 by step 3.
Example:
Find the interest on $800 at 7.5% annually, compounded daily, for 28 days.
Solution:
First we find the number of $100 units in the principal. $800 / $100 = 8
The Table 13-2 value is 0.576941. So,
$8 ( 0.576941) = $4.615528 rounded to two digits after the decimal = $.62

Calculate the present value using a formula
Present Value tells us how much to invest at present value in order to yield a certain amount at
some specified future date.
Calculate the present value bases on annual compounding for one year
Calculating present value manually is time consuming. When there are many interest periods out
there. We find the Present Value formula by adjusting the Future value formula.
Future Value = principal (1 + annual interest rate) so to find for Principal we need to divide the
equation by (1 + annual interest rate). So,
Present value = future value / (1 + annual interest rate)
Example :
Find the amount of money that Mary needs to set aside today to
ensure that $10,000 will be available in her account to buy a new
TV in one year if the annual interest rate is 4% compounded
annually.
Solution:
1 +0.04 = 1.04
