Math Financial Mathematics m is the number of conversion periods per year. i(m) is the nominal interest rate. Interest rate per conversion period i = i(m)/m Nominal Interest Rate and Interest Rate 11

Math Financial Mathematics Compound amount formula is S = P(1+i) n where n is the total number of conversion periods P is the principal S is the amount i is the interest rate per conversion period Present value formula at compound interest is P = S(1+i) -n 12

Math Financial Mathematics Obsetvation n, the total number of conversion periods is a natural number. For any fractions of a conversion period, use simple interest formula. E.g., after calculations you end up with 3.5 conversion periods then the amount is S = (P(1+i) 3 )( x i) 13

Math Financial Mathematics Suppose that a savings account pays 3% interest per quarter compounded quarterly. If $2,500 is deposited, how much is in the account 5 years later? A) 2,500(1+0.03/4) -5 B) 2,500(1+0.03) -20 C) 2,500(1+0.03/4) 5 D) 2,500(1+0.03) 20 E) I don’t know Pledged Question 15

Math Financial Mathematics Suppose that a savings account pays 3% interest per quarter compounded quarterly. If $2,500 is deposited, how much is in the account 5 years later? Answer 16 The interest rate is given as interest rate per conversion period, thus i = 3%. Since there are 4 conversion periods per year and the term is 5 years, then n = 20. The principal is P=$2,500. The correct answer is 2,500(1+0.03) 20

Math Financial Mathematics Annual Effective Rate Given a nominal interest rate i(m), the annual effective rate is the interest rate i such that if the same principal P is deposited in two accounts: one with nominal interest rate i(m) and one with yearly interest rate i, compounded yearly; at the end of one year the two accounts have the same balance. 20

Math Financial Mathematics The compounded amount formula is S = P(1+i) n The balance in an account with nominal interest rate i(m) after one year is: S = P(1 + i(m)/m) m The balance in an account with interest rate i per year, compounded yearly, after one year is S = P(1 + i) 1 To calculate i P(1 + i) = P(1 + i(m)/m) m i = (1 + i(m)/m) m

Math Financial Mathematics Why does one calculate annual effective rate? 22 It allows us to compare different nominal interest rates. You are considering two different savings accounts. The first pays 4.7% compounded monthly and the second one pays 4.63% compounded daily. Which one is the better deal?

Math Financial Mathematics You are considering two different savings accounts. The first pays 4.7% compounded monthly and the second one pays 4.63% compounded daily. Which one is the better deal? The annual effective rate formula is 1+i = (1 + i(m)/m) m For the first account: For the second account: 23
