Simple Interest: Simple Interest Is An Interest Computed On The Amount The Borrower Received at
Formula:
I = PRT
where:
I = Interest
P = Principal
R = Rate
T = Time
Problems:
1. Liza goes to the bank and borrows P150,000 at 6% for 2 years. How much
interest will Liza have to pay?
2. What is the amount of the interest Julia has to pay if she loaned P500,000
at 12% for 5 years from OCCI Coop?
Answers:
1. I = ?
P = P150,000
R = 6%
T = 2 years
I = PRT
= 150,000 X 6% X 2
Interest = P18,000
2. I = ?
P = P500,000
R = 12%
T = 5 years
I = PRT
= 500,000 X 5% X 5
Interest = P125,000
COMPOUND INTEREST
Compound interest means that the interest is computed more than once during
the time period of the loan.
Formula:
Compound Interest = Compound Amount Principal
A = P (1 +i) n
where:
A = Compound Amount
P = Principal
i = Interest rate per period
n = Total compounding periods
Problems:
1. Compound Interest = ?
A=?
P = P23,000
i = 3%
n = 12
A = P (1 + i)n
= 23,000 (1 + 0.03)12
= 23,000 (1.425760887)
A = P32,792.50
2. Compound Interest = ?
A=?
P = P12,000
i = 3%
n=8
A = P (1 + i)n
= 12,000 (1 + 0.03)8
= 12,000 (1.266770081)
A = P15,201.25
