NOMINAL AND EFFECTIVE
INTEREST RATE
Nominal and Effective Interest Rate
interest charges for annually compounding: You have to know all the
$10,000(1+24%)2 - $10,000 = $5376.00 information to make a
good decision
Savings:
$5938.48 - $5376 = $562.48
Nominal and Effective Interest Rate
F= 1000(1+0.05/2)1x2 = $1,050.60
1000 1000(1+0.025) 1,025 1025(1.025) = $1,050.60
With i = 0.05/2, r = 0.05,
P (1 + i) P (1+r/2)2 (1+ 0.05/2)2 (1.050625)
(1+.050625) (1+5.0625%)
Effective interest rate = ia=5.0625%
Nominal and Effective Interest Rate
Solution:
Nominal interest rate per year is
r = 4 1.5% = 6% a year
Suppose Jamshed can keep the $50, as well as all the money he
receives in payments, out in loans at all times?
How much would Jamshed have at the end of the year?
We use F = P(1+i)n to get F = 50(1.2)52 $655,232
(not bad, but probably illegal)
Nominal and Effective Interest Rate
Example Salman deposits $5000 in a saving account paying 8%
nominal interest, compounded quarterly. He wants to withdraw
the money in five equal yearly sums, beginning Dec. 31 of the
first year. How much should he withdraw each year?

Nominal and Effective Interest Rate
The withdrawal periods and the compounding periods are not
the same. If we want to use the formula
A = P (A/P,i,n)
So, we must find a way to put the problem into an equivalent
form where all the periods are the same.
i = 2%, n = 20
$5000
Nominal and Effective Interest Rate
Now consider the following:
A
W W W W
i = 2%, n = 4
W
ia = 8.24%, n = 5
$5000
Now use:
W = P(A/P,8.24%,5) = P {[i (1+i)n]/[(1+i)n – 1]} = 5000(0.252)
= $1260 per year.
Summary Notation
i: effective interest rate per interest period (stated as a
decimal)
n: number of interest periods
P: present sum of money
F: future sum of money: an amount, n interest periods from the
present, that is equivalent to P with interest rate i
A: end-of-period cash receipt or disbursement amount in a
uniform series, continuing for n periods, the entire series
equivalent to P or F at interest rate i.
r: nominal interest rate per interest period (usually one year)
ia: effective interest rate per year (annum)
m: number of compounding sub-periods per period
Summary: Formulas
• Single Payment formulas:
Compound amount: F = P (1+i)n = P (F/P,i,n)
Present worth: P = F (1+i)-n = F (P/F,i,n)
• Continuous compounding, :
r – one-period interest rate, n – number of periods
(P/F,r,n)inf= e-rn
(F/P,r,n)inf= ern

Example: Solving for n
Fn = $2000

i = 5%/year; n is unknown!
P = $1,000
Example (continued)
Fn = $2000
0 1 2 ... . . . ……. n
i = 5%/year; n is unknown!
P = $1,000
• (1.05)n = 2000/1000
• n ln(1.05) = ln(2)
• n = ln(2)/ln(1.05)
• n = 0.693147/0.04879 = 14.2067 years
• With compounding every year:
• It will take 15 years to amass $2,000
• (Actually, a little more than $2,000!)

• F = P (1+i)n
• 5,000 = 3,000 (1+i)5
• (1+i)5 = 5,000/3000 = 1.6667
• (1+i) = 1.66670.20 = 1.1076
• i = 1.1076 – 1 = 0.1076 = 10.76%
• This project is equivalent to earning 10.76% per year
Uncertain interest rates
• If there is an annual series of payments, this gets more complicated:
• How to solve?
• Two options
– Trial and error:
• Try different values of i until you converge
• I.e., until P = A [1 - 1/(1+i)n]/i
– Use look-up tables
• (e.g., tables at back of textbook)
and interpolate

Example
Example. In 3 years, you need $400 to pay a debt. In two more years, you need
$600 more to pay a second debt. How much should you put in the bank today
to meet these two needs if the bank pays 12% per year?

Interest is compounded yearly Interest is compounded monthly
P = 400(P/F, 12%/12, 3*12) +
P = 400(P/F,12%,3) + 600(P/F,12%,5) 600(P/F, 12%/12, 5*12)
= 400 (0.7118) + 600 (0.5674) = 400(P/F, 1%, 36) + 600(P/F, 1%, 60)
= 284.72 + 340.44 = $625.16 = 400 (0.6989) + 600 (0.5504)
= 279.56 + 330.24 = $609.80

Q.1
A bank pays 4.5% interest after every 3 months. What are the
nominal and effective interest rates per year?
ia = (1 + r/m)m – 1, i=r/m
Q.2
You need $1200 to pay a debt after 6 years. After 4 more years,
you need $950 more to pay another debt. How much should
you put in the bank today to meet these two needs if the bank
pays 9.5% per year?
