 Simple and Compound Interest
Example:  As on March 1, 2020, the nominal interest rate,
compounded monthly, on your INR 5 lakh cash credit is 12
percent. As per the Government’s compound interest waiver
scheme, calculate the compensation amount for a six-month
moratorium period between March and August 2020.

Solution: 
Compensation = Compound Interest – Simple Interest
SI = 5,00,000 * 0.12 * 0.5 = Rs. 30,000
CI = 5,00,000 * - 5,00,000 = Rs. 30,760

Compensation = Rs. 760

14
 Nominal vs. Effective
Nominal Interest Rate ()
Effective Interest Rate ()

Example: Calculate equivalent nominal rate with quarterly

compounding for 10% nominal rate with semi-annual
compounding.
Solution:
Semi-annually Compounding
• Frequency () = 2
• Nominal Rate (a) = 10% (given)
Quarterly Compounding
• Frequency () = 4
• Nominal Rate (b) = ?

Note: When an effective annual rate remains unchanged and why?
