earning simple and compound interest• calculate the earnings from simple and compound interest

• understand the Rule of 72 (and calculate how long it will take to double my money using the Rule)

What is Interest?

Interest is the amount you earn when you save money with a

bank (in a savings account).

7

Simple Interest Formula

Principal – an amount of money that is lent, borrowed, saved or invested.Rate – interest rate (expressed as a decimal 6% or .06)Time – time period (usually in years)

Simple Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

Simple Interest Practice

Working Together–You saved $1,000 for 1 year at 4%.What is the amount of interest you can expect to receive at the end of 1 year? What will be your Total Principal and Interest earned?

To calculate Interest earned:$1,000.00 * .04 * 1 = $40.00

To calculate total amount due (Principal + Interest : Principal ($1,000.00) + Simple Interest ($40.00) =

Total ($1,040.00)

Simple Interest =Principal * Rate * Time

Calculating Interest Handout

Please complete Part 1 of the Simple and Compound Interest Handout.


What is the relationship between interest rates and your overall return on your savings investment?

Compound Interest Compound Interest is calculated on the initial

principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods of a deposit or loan.

Compound Interest can be thought of as “interest on interest” and will make a deposit or a loan grow at a faster rate than Simple Interest (which is interest calculated only on the principal amount.)

14

Compound Interest (Cont.) The rate at which compound interest accrues depends on

the frequency of compounding; the higher the number of compounding periods, the greater the compound interest.

Compounding Factors: Annual - 1 Semi-annual - 2 Quarterly - 4 Monthly - 12 Daily - 365

Rule of 72

Quick way of finding out how long it will take to double your money!

Rule was first mentioned in anarithmetic book published in 1494.

Rule is: The number 72 divided by the interest rate The result is the number of years it will take to

double your money26

Rule of 72 (continued)

Working Together:

If you save $2,000 at a 8% interest rate, how many years will it take to grow into $4,000?

Rule of 72 formula:

72/Interest Rate (expressed as a number) 72/8= 9

It would take 9 years to double your money!

27

Rule of 72 (continued)

DO NOW: Laurel and Hardy Handout(Apply Compound Interest Formula)

See Handout:

Laurel and Hardy start an advertising business. They hope to do well and expect to retire someday. Laurel, who turned 25, is a saver. He puts $10,000 into his retirement account right away and intends to leave it there until he turns 60 (35 years) . Hardy, is more of a spender. He waits until he is 40 to put money away for his retirement. He realizes that he is way behind Laurel so he puts $20,000 into his retirement account and intends to keep it there until he is 60 (20 years).

Both gentlemen shopped around and found a bank that offered 8% interest compounded daily.

How much money do both of them have at age 60?
