LESSON
1 Simple Interest
In many aspects of modern life, Mathematics plays an important role. In the field of business, mathematics is
essential in analyzing markets, predicting stock market prices, business decision making, forecasting production, financial
analysis, and in business operation in general. This module will introduce the students to the basic concepts of business
mathematics such as the simple and compound interests.

ANALYSIS
ABSTRACTION
“When you saved money in the bank, you will gain an interest paid by the bank. On the other hand, when you
borrow money, you are charged an interest on the amount you borrowed. How does gained and charged interests computed?”
A debtor pays the bank an amount which is more than the amount they borrowed. An investor may withdraw from
the bank more than the amount deposited. This additional sum is called INTEREST.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
➢ Lender or creditor – person (or institution) who invests the money or makes the funds available.
➢ Borrower or debtor – person (or institution) who owes the money or avails of the funds from the lender.
➢ Origin or loan date – date on which money is received by the borrower.
➢ Repayment date or maturity date – date on which the money borrowed or loaned is to be completely repaid.
➢ Time or term (t) – amount of time in years the money is borrowed or invested; length of time between the origin and
maturity dates.
➢ Principal or present value (P) – amount of money borrowed or invested on the origin date.
➢ Rate of interest or simply rate (r) – annual rate, usually in percent, charged by the lender, or rate of increase of the
investment.
➢ Interest (I) – amount paid or earned for the use of money.
➢ Maturity Value or Future Value (F) – amount after t years that the lender receives from the borrower on the maturity
date; equal to the sum of principal and the interest earned.

OBJECTIVES
LESSON
2 Compound Interest
Problems involving simple interest were discussed on the previous lesson. Simple interest is the interest charged on
the principal alone for the entire length of the loan or investment. Several formulas were introduced to solve problems
involving simple interest. The second type of interest that will be discussed on this lesson is the compound interest. For
many long-term financial transactions, compound interest is used instead of simple interest.
ABSTRACTION
DEFINITION OF TERMS
➢ Compound amount (F) – also called maturity value, it is an accumulated amount obtained by adding the principal and
the compound interest.
➢ Conversion period (m) – the number of times in a year the interest will be compounded.
The following are the common conversion periods in a year:
annually : m=1
semi-annually : m=2
quarterly : m=4
monthly : m = 12
➢ Number of conversion periods (n) – the total number of times interest is calculated for the entire term of the investment
or loan.
➢ Annual interest rate or nominal rate (r) – the stated rate of interest per year.
➢ Periodic rate (i) – the interest rate per conversion period.
➢ Present value of F (P) – this is the principal P, that will accumulate to F if there is an interest at periodic rate i for n
conversion periods.
Example. ₱50,000.00 was loaned for a period of 3 years with 5% interest compounded annually. What amount of money
will be needed to repay the loan?
Principal at the
Interest Amount at the end of the year
start of the year
First Year ₱50,000.00 ₱50,000 × 0.05 × 1 = ₱2,500.00 ₱50,000 + 2 500 = ₱52,500.00
Note: As shown in the table, the amount at the end of the year is equal to the sum of the principal and the interest
for that year. Thus,
Generally, when interest is compounded annually for n years, the amount A = P(1 + i) n.
Computation of the compound amount by the method shown above is tedious and time-consuming. The formulas
below will greatly ease computations.

Directions: Solve what is asked in each item. Write your complete solutions and answers on a separate sheet of paper.
1. Find the final or compound amount of ₱15,900.00 at 5.5% interest compounded annually for 18 months.
2. Find the interest on ₱25,750.00 for 3 years at 8% compounded quarterly.

OBJECTIVE
At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to solve problems involving simple interest and compound interest.
ABSTRACTION
Example 1. A bank offers 1.5% annual simple interest rate for a particular deposit. How much interest will be earned if 1
million pesos is deposited in this savings account for 1 year?
Solution:
Given: r = 1.5% or 0.015 ; P = ₱1,000,000.00 ; t = 1 year
Formula: 𝐼𝑠 = 𝑃𝑟𝑡
𝐼𝑠 = ₱1,000,000.00 (0.015)(1)
𝑰𝒔 = ₱𝟏𝟓, 𝟎𝟎𝟎.00
Therefore, an interest amounting to ₱15,00000 will be earned if 1 million pesos is deposited in a savings account
for 1 year with 1.5% annual simple interest rate.
Example 2. When invested at an annual interest rate of 7%, the amount earned ₱11,200.00 of simple interest in 2.5 years.
How much money was originally invested?
Solution:
Given: r = 7% or 0.07 ; 𝐼𝑠 = ₱11,200.00 ; t = 2.5 years

Example 1. Joseph borrows ₱50,000.00 and promise to pay the principal and interest at 12% compounded monthly. How
much must he repay after 6 years?
Solution:
Given: P = ₱50,000.00 m = 12 r = 12% or 0.12 t = 6 years
𝑟 0.12
𝑖= = = 0.01 𝑛 = 𝑚𝑡 = 12(6) = 72

Example 2. A loan ₱125,000.00 at 8% compounded quarterly was paid back with an amount of ₱176,000.00 at the end
of the period. For how long was the money borrowed?
Solution:
Given: P = ₱125,000.00 r = 8% or 0.08 F = ₱176,000.00

Example 3. How much must be invested today in a savings account in order to have ₱50,800.00 in 6 years and 9 months
if money earns 5.4% compounded semi-annually?
Solution:

Given: F = ₱50,800.00 t = 6 years or 6.75 years r = 5.4% or 0.054 m=2
