"A peso today is worth more than a
peso tomorrow."
I=PxRxT
Where:
I = Interest
P=
Principal R
= Rate
T = Time
Example
: A friend asks to borrow P 3,000 and agrees to repay it
in 2 years with 3% interest. How much interest will you
earn?
I=PxRxT
I = 3,000 x .03 x 2
I = P 180
How much is the total amount you will receive?
= Interest + Principal
= 180 + 3,000
= P 3,180
Compound
Interest
Compound interest is simply earning interest on interest.
Example
A friend asks to borrow P 3,000 and agrees to repay it in 2
years
with 3% interest. How much interest will you earn?
Year 1: 3,000 x .03 = 90
Year 2: 3,090 x .03 = 92 .7
Accumulated Interest = P 182 .7
Total Amount to be received: P 3,182 .7
Future
Value
the value of a current asset at a future date based on an
assumed rate of growth
the amount which an investment will grow after earning interest.
Present
