Lesson 1
ILLUSTRATING SIMPLE AND COMPOUND INTEREST
Basic Concepts
Almost everyday money is borrowed and loaned in thousands of
transactions amounting, in total, to hundreds of millions of pesos. A bank is a
financial institution which is involved in borrowing and lending money. Banks
take customer deposits in return for paying customers an annual interest
payment. The bank then uses the majority of these deposits to lend to other
customers for a variety of loans.
Borrowing and lending are two sides of the same transaction. To the
lender loan represents an investment in a debt obligation. The interest charged
provides income form the investment. The rate of return on the investment is
equal to the rate of interest charged to the customer.
In view of the fact that borrowing and lending are so central to our daily
lives and in the economic system, it is essential to familiarize with the definition
of terms and learn the computation of interest in borrowing/lending
transactions.
Definition of Terms
 Debtor or Maker – an individual or institution that borrows money for
any purpose
 Lender –an individual or financial institution which loans the money
 Interest (I) – the payment for the use of borrowed money or the amount
earned on invested money
 Principal (P) – the capital or sum of money borrowed or invested
 Rate of Interest (r) – this is a fractional part of the principal that is paid
on the loan or investment which is usually expressed as percent
 Time (t) – the number of years for which money is borrowed or invested
 Maturity Value or Future Value (F) – the sum of the principal and the
interest accumulated over a certain period

To illustrate the difference between simple and compound interest, and
better understand the concept of compound interest, consider the following
example.
Lovely and Lorainne have Php 1, 000.00 each. Lovely lent her money to a
friend who agreed to pay her back after 5 years with 5% simple interest.
Lorraine, on the other hand, deposited her money to a savings account and left
it there for 5 years to earn 5% compounded annually.

Think of It
With simple interest, interest stays the same as time passes. With
compound interest, interest grows as time passes because previous interest is
compounded or added to the principal to earn interest. The principal
continuously changes during the time period.
Bear in Mind
Compound interest is higher than simple interest when principal, rate and
time are the same. However, when the interest is only compounded for
one period, say 1 year, the compound interest and the simple interest are
the same.
We have seen the difference between simple and compound interest

using computation. This time, let us study the comparison of facts underlying
between simple and compound interests.

The Philippines isn’t the only country

that uses peso as a currency.
In 16th century, the Spanish peso had a value of eight pieces of real, the
Spanish Empire’s currency. Because of this, most of the colonies of the Spanish
empire adapted the currency, despite some countries discarding it. As of the moment,
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, the Philippines, and
Uruguay still use the peso.

Lesson 2
SIMPLE INTEREST
Basic Concepts
Interest is the fee for use of money that is either borrowed, lent or loaned,
invested or saved over a period of time. Lenders ask for interest to make up for
the inconvenience of not being able to use the money during the time the money
is still with the borrower or on loan, to help make the risk of lending worth
taking in case the borrower fails to pay back on time and to help make up for
the inflation as it reduces the purchasing power of the amount borrowed.
Simple Interest (Is) is the amount paid for the borrowed money or the
amount earned for the deposited or invested money. It is calculated as a
percentage of the original amount borrowed or deposited over a period of time.
Calculating Simple Interest
The equation to compute for simple interest is –

Is = Prt
where
Is = interest
P = principal or the original amount borrowed or
deposited
r = percentage rate of interest
t = term or period or length of borrowing time until
payment
Let us work on the following examples to illustrate the application of the
above.
Example 1: Mary Anthonette borrows Php 10, 000.00 at 10.25% interest rate a
year.
a. What is the principal (P)?
b. What is the interest rate (r)?
c. What is the time or borrowing period (t)?
d. What is the interest after a year?
12
Solution:
a. P = Php10, 000.00
b. r = 10.25% or 0.1025
c. t = 1 year
d. Substituting the values in the given formula
Is = Prt
= (10, 000)(0.1025)(1)
= Php 1, 025.00
1
Example 2. Kara Mia deposits Php 111, 110.00 in an account at her bank at 5
5
% interest rate. How much interest will she earn in 5.25 years?
Given:
P = 111,110
1
r = 5 % = 5.2% or 0.052
5
t = 5.25 years
Find: Is
Solution:
Is = Prt
= (111, 110)(0.052)(5.25)
= (111, 110)(0.273)
= Php 30, 333.03
Example 3: Find the interest paid by Kathryn Nadine on Php 150, 150.00 that
3
she borrowed for three years and 9 months at 1 % simple interest.
4
Given:
Note:
P = 150, 150
3 When term is
r = 1 % or 1.75% or 0.0175
4 expressed in
9
t = 3 years and 9 months = 3 = 3.75 years month (m),
12
Find: Is convert in
𝑚
Solution: year(s) by t=12
Is = Prt
= (150,150)(0.0175)(3.75)
= (150,150)(0.065625)
= Php 9,853.59
13
Example 4: If Sahaya borrowed Php 125, 500.00 at an annual simple interest
3
rate if 7 % for 42 months, how much interest should she pay?
4
Given:
P = 125, 500
3
r=7 % 7.75% or 0.0775
4
42
t = 42 months = 3.5 years
12
Find: Is
Solution:
Is = Prt
= (125,500)(0.0775)(3.5)
= (125,500)(0.27125)
= Php 34,041.88
Answer each of the following problems by identifying the given information,

required unknown, formula(s) to be used. Compute for the unknown then label
your final answer properly.
1. Mrs. Batungbakal gave a Php 100, 000.00 to Mrs. Macaspac at 18%. How
much was the interest after 45 days?
2. How much interest is paid after 8 months if Mr. Tom McKey borrowed P515,
515.00 at 3.25%?
3. Cory Kong deposited Php 202, 020.00 at a rural bank in Tayug paying 1.5%
per annum simple interest. How much interest will she earn after 2 years
and 6 months?
14
Finding Principal, Rate, and Time
From the equation of the simple interest Is = Prt, you can also solve for
the other variables; P, r and t. Equations for principal, rate, and time can be
formulated using the Golden Rule of Equations –
“Equality is preserved if both sides of the equation are changed the same way.”
To solve for P,
𝐼𝑠 𝑃𝑟𝑡
= <divide both sides by rt>
𝑟𝑡 𝑟𝑡
𝐼𝑠
𝑃=

Maturity (Future) Value with Simple Interest
Basic Concepts
When the time period of a loan reaches its maturity date, the loan is said
to mature. In that period, the borrower repays the principal and the interest.
The total repayment is known as the maturity value (or future value).
To find the maturity (future) value, use the formula

F = P + Is
= P + Prt
= P (1+rt) < by factoring >
where
P = principal
r = interest rate (convert to decimal)
t = time (in years)
18
Note:
Although maturity value and future value mean the same thing, maturity value is
used for loans while future value is for invested or saved money. Although principal
and present value mean the same thing, principal is usually used for loans while
present value is for invested or saved money.
Let us take the following examples for application of the formula.

Example 1: Find the maturity (future) value:
Principal (P) rate (r) time (t) Maturity Value (F)
Php 12, 345.00 2.15% 1.25 years (a)
Php 67, 890.00 0.1% 2 years and 9 months (b)
Solution:
a.) F = P (1 + rt)
= 12, 345 [(1 + (0.0215)(1.25)]
= 12, 345 (1 + 0.026875)
= 12, 345 (1.026875) 2 yrs. and 9 mos.
= Php 12, 676.77 3
= 2 4 years = 2.75
b.) F = P (1 + rt)
= 67, 890 [(1 + (0.001)(2.75)]
= 67, 890 (1 + 0.00275)
= 67, 890 (1.00275)
= Php 68, 076.70
Example 2: How much should Lyzza Mae pay for a Php 10, 000.00 loan charged
1
at 16 % at the end of 1 year and 6 months?
2
Given:
P = 10, 000
1
r = 16 % 16.5% = 0.165
2
6
t = 1 year and 6 months 1 = 1.5 years
12
Find: F
19
Solution:
F = P (1 + rt)
= (10, 000) [1+ (0.165)(1.5)]

The very first currency where the

name “Filipinas” appeared in the
coins produced from 1861 to 1868.
Considered as the first series of Philippine currency, these coins issued by the
Spanish colonizers had denominations in 1, 2, and 4 pesos. In 1897, “Filipinas” was
changed to “Islas Filipinas” to reflect the archipelagic nature of the country. This was
the last currency issued by the Spanish empire in the Philippines until their departure
in 1898.

Lesson 3
COMPOUND INTEREST
Basic Concepts
Compound Interest is the interest resulting from the periodic addition of
simple interest to the principal.
The formula for compound interest (Ic) is
Ic = F – P
where
Ic = compound interest
F = maturity (future) value
P = principal
The time interval between succeeding interest calculations is called the
conversion period or compounding period. The interest earned during a period
is “converted” to principal at the end of the period because the principal and
the interest are combined and treated as the new principal for the succeeding
period. The effect of converting interest to principal is that the interest earned
in a period will also earned interest in all succeeding periods. The resulting
value is called maturity (future) value and is designated by F.
The formula for maturity (future) value is –
F = P (1 + r)t
where
P = principal or original amount of money
r = interest rate
t = term or number of years
Let us take the following examples to apply the above formulas.
Example 1: Find the maturity value and compound interest on the principal Php
30, 000.00 borrowed at 4.5% compounded annually for 3 years.
Given:
P = 30,000
r = 4.5% = 0.045
t = 3 years
Find: F and Ic
25
Solution:
F = P (1 + r)t
= 30, 000 (1 + 0.045)3
= 30, 000 (1.045)3
= 30, 000 (1.141166125)
= Php 34, 234.98
Ic = F – P
= 34, 234.98 – 30, 000
= Php 4, 234.98
Example 2. How much will you have in your bank after 5 years when your
1
mother deposited Php 15, 000.00 at an annual interest rate of 1 %
4
compounded yearly?
Given:
P = 15, 000
1
r = 1 % = 1.25% = 0.0125
4
t = 5 years
Find: F
Solution:
F = P (1 + r)t
= 15, 000 (1 + 0.0125)3
= 15, 000 (1.0125)3
= 15, 000 (1.037970703)

Finding the Present Value at Compound Interest
From the formula, F = P (1 + r)t, we can derive the formula in finding

the present value.
Take
F = P (1 + r)t then
𝐹 =

<divide both sides by (1 + r)t >
(1+𝑟)𝑡 (1+𝑟)𝑡
so you will get,

𝐹
P=

Lesson 4
COMPOUNDING MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR
Basic Concepts
The compound frequency (or conversion frequency) is the number of
compounding that take place a year. The number of conversion periods for one
year is denoted by m, while the total number of conversion periods for the
whole investment term is denoted by n.
Compounding or conversion Number of compounding(s) or
frequency conversion(s) per year
Annually 1
Semi-annually 2
Quarterly 4
Monthly 12
Weekly 52
Daily 365
The formula for the total number of conversion periods for the whole
term is –
n = mt
where
n = total number of conversion periods for the whole term
m = number of conversion periods per year
t = time period (term) of the loan or investment
The interest rate (im) is usually expressed as an annual or yearly rate,

and must be changed to the interest rate per conversion period or periodic
rate (j). The formula to be used is –
𝒊(𝒎)
j=
𝒎
where
j = rate of interest for each conversion period
i(m) = annual rate of interest
m = frequency of conversion
30
Finding the Maturity (Future) Value in Compound Interest
The maturity (future) value, compounding m times a year can be

computed using the formula –
F = P (1 + j)n
𝑖 (𝑚) mt
F = P (1 + )
𝑚
where
P = principal
i = nominal rate of interest (annual rate)
(m)
m = frequency of conversion
t = term/time in years
Let us take the following examples for the application of the above
formula.
Example 1: Find the maturity value of Php 565, 565.00 invested for 2 years and
6 months at 5.25% compounded quarterly.

Finding the Time in Compound Interest
We will start with this section by deriving the formula of time period t in
the compound interest formula. Use the formula,
F = P (1 + j)n then
F = P (1 + j)mt <replace n by mt >

= (1 +j)mt <divide both sides by P>

In this section, we will derive the formula of nominal rate (i) in the
compound interest formula.

𝑖 (𝑚) mt 𝑖 (𝑚)
F = P (1 + ) <replace j by and n by mt>

46
Nominal Rate (i)
Aside from periodic rate (j), the other kind of rate associated with
compound interest problems is the nominal rate.
Nominal rate is the rate quoted when interest is compounded more than
once a year. It is denoted by (i) and the number of times per year this rate is
compounded or the frequency of conversion is represented by (m).
In any investment problem, if the rate is not specified as nominal or
effective rate, it is assumed that the given rate is nominal.
To determine the nominal rate (i), if the effective rate (e) is given, we
apply the formula:
𝑚
i = m [ √(1 + 𝑒) – 1]
where
i = nominal rate
m = conversion period per year
e = effective rate
Let us try to illustrate using the given examples.
Example 1: What nominal rate compounded quarterly, will yield the effective
1
rate 3 %?
5
Given:
m=4
1
e = 3 % = 3.2% or 0.032
5
Find: i
Solution:
𝑚
i = m [ √(1 + 𝑒) – 1]
4
= 4 [√(1 + 0.032) – 1]
4
= 4 [√(1.032) – 1]
= 4 (1.0079– 1)
= 4 (0.0079)
= 0.0316 or 3.16%
47
Example 2: If interest is compounded monthly find the nominal rate if the
effective rate is 9.75%
Given:
m = 12
e = 9.75% or 0.0975
Find: i
Solution:
𝑚
i = m [ √(1 + 𝑒) – 1]
12
= 12 [ √(1 + 0.0975) – 1]
12
= 12 [ √(1.0975) – 1]
= 12 (1.0078– 1)
= 12 (0.0078)
= 0.0936 or 9.36%
Solve the following completely.
1. What nominal rate compounded semi-annually, will yield an effective rate

1

2. If interest is compounded quarterly, find the nominal rate which will yield an
3
effective rate of 2 %?
4
3. When interest is compounded monthly, find the nominal rate if the effective
rate is 5.25%?
48
Effective Rate (e)
When the conversion period is one year, the quoted annual rate of
interest is known as the effective rate. To determine the effective rate (e) when
nominal rate (i) is given, we apply the formula:
𝑖
e = [(1 + )𝑚 – 1)]
𝑚
where
e = effective rate
i = nominal rate
m = conversion period per year
Note:
A. When interest is compounded annually, the effective rate is equal to
the nominal rate, but when it is compounded more than once a year, the
effective rate is higher than the nominal rate.
B. When comparing two different rates compounded at different

conversion periods per year, we compute their respective effective rates.
Let us try to illustrate the application of the above in the following

examples.
Example 1: Find the effective rate corresponding to the rate 4% compounded

quarterly.
Given:
m=4
i = 4% or 0.04
Find: e
Solution:
𝑖
e = [(1 + )𝑚 – 1]
𝑚
0.04 4

4
4
= [(1 + 0.01 ) – 1]
= [(1.01)4 - 1]
= 1.04060401 – 1
= 0.0406 or 4.06%
49
Example 2: When interest is compounded monthly, find the effective rate
corresponding to the nominal rate 3.
Given:
m = 12
i = 3% or 0.03
Find: e
Solution:
𝑖
e = [(1 + )𝑚 – 1]
𝑚
0.03 12
= [(1 + ) – 1]
12
12
= [(1 + 0.0025 ) – 1]

Equivalent Rates (eq)
If two rates produce equal interests on the same principal in the same
period of time, they are said to be equivalent rates (eq).
Case 1: To determine the compound interest rate equivalent to another

compound interest rate, we apply the formula
𝑐
𝐺 𝑐2
eq = c1 [(1 + )1 – 1]
𝑐2
where
eq = the missing or unknown rate
c1 = conversion period of the missing rate
G = given compound interest rate
c2 = conversion period of the given rate

compounded monthly?
Given:
c1 = 2
G = 6% or 0.06
c2 = 12
Find: eq
Solution:
