MODULE 1: SIMPLE INTEREST AND SIMPLE DISCOUNT
1.1 Simple Interest

In financial transactions an interest is the amount paid by a borrower to a lender for the
use of money over a period. Interest that is paid as a percent of amount borrowed or
invested is called simple interest. The formula for simple interest is given by the
following:
Simple Interest
𝐼 = 𝑃𝑟𝑡
Where,
𝐼𝑠 = 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑑 (𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑)
𝑃 = 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑 (𝑜𝑟 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑)
𝑟 = 𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡
𝑡 = 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚 𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟
Example 1.
Suppose Kiko wanted to invest an amount 𝑃ℎ𝑝 50,000.00 for 2 years at a financial
institution that gives a simple interest of 3% per year. The interest rate was given to
Kiko by the financial institution on the assumption that he cannot withdraw the
investment within the 2-year period. How much is Kiko’s earning on the investment after
the 2-year period?
Solution:
The following can be obtained from the problem: P  50,000 , r  0.03, t  2.
I  Prt  50,0000.032  3,000 .

From this we conclude that, the investment earned 𝑷𝒉𝒑𝟑, 𝟎𝟎𝟎. 𝟎𝟎.
Interest can be viewed as a lender or a borrower. Sometimes if we are the investor, we

consider the value of our investment after a given period. In this case we introduce the
concept of future values or accumulated values or maturity value.
Future Value
𝐹 = 𝑃 + 𝐼𝑠 𝐹 = (1 + 𝑟𝑡)
Where,
𝐼𝑠 = 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑑 (𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑)

𝑃 = 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑 (𝑜𝑟 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑)
𝑟 = 𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡
𝑡 = 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚 𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟
Example 2.
April wants to borrow 𝑃ℎ𝑝40, 000.00 from a bank that gives an annual interest rate of
4.5%. However, she only wants to borrow the fund for a 9-month period and will be able
to pay the bank immediately after 9 months. How much interest is she going to pay from
borrowing the amount of money? What is the accumulated value of the amount
borrowed after the 9-month period?
The following can be obtained from the problem: P  40,000 ,r  0.045 ,t  0.75
since she only borrowed the fund for 9-months which is ¾ of a year.
I  Prt  40,0000.0450.75 1,350 .
From this we conclude that, the interest due is 𝑷𝒉𝒑𝟏, 𝟑𝟓𝟎. 𝟎𝟎.
In this example the accumulated value of the amount borrowed is 𝐹 = 𝑃 + 𝐼𝑠 that is; the
sum of the principal amount or the amount borrowed and the interest.
Thus, after nine months, April will pay the bank 𝑷𝒉𝒑 𝟒𝟏, 𝟑𝟓𝟎. 00.
Example 3.
What is the simple interest rate applied if an investment of Php37,500 accumulates to
Php41,812.50 in the period of 5 years?
Solution:
We note that the interest earned by the investment is Php4312.5 that is, I  4312.5 .
From the formula I  Prt , we have,
Example 4.
The repayment on a loan was Php16,275. If the loan was for 15 months or 1.25 years at
6.8% interest a year, how much was the principal?
Solution:
Based from the given we have the following: F  16,275 , r  0.068 , and t  1.25
Since F  P1  rt , we have ;
Exercises 1:
1. Joey wanted to invest an amount of Php 85,000.00 for 5 years at the bank that gives
interest of 2.5% per year. How much Joey’s earning on the investment after 5-year
period?
2. Karen wants to borrow 𝑃ℎ𝑝 25, 000.00 from a financial institution that gives an annual
interest rate of 3%. However, she only wants to borrow the fund for a 7-month period
and will be able to pay the bank immediately after 7 months. How much interest is she
going to pay from borrowing the amount of money? What is the accumulated value of
the amount borrowed after the 7-month period?
3. What is the simple interest rate applied if an investment of Php34,600 accumulates to
Php40,985.75 in the period of 4 years?
4. The repayment on a loan was Php 26,875.00. If the loan was for 18 months or 1.5
years at 7.5% interest a year, how much was the principal?
Different ways of expressing time/term of a loan or investment.

Sometimes the term of investment is not given in years. The term or time frame given in
certain problems maybe stated in days or months. In cases where the time is expressed
in months it is easy to express it in years. But when the term/time is given in days we
use a time factor such as the following:
Exercises 2:
1. Determine the Actual and Approximate number of days in the given origin and
repayment dates.
2. Joseph borrowed 𝑃ℎ𝑝 5,000 on November 2, 2015 from Arthemus, which is to be

repaid on May 21, 2016 at 6.2% simple interest per year. Find the amount to be repaid.
How much will the interest be at the repayment date if the following time factors are
used?
a. Bankers Rule
b. Exact Simple Interest
c.
d.
3. How much should Mark pay to Michele if he borrowed Php 10,000 on June 25, 2015
and if the principal and interest are to be paid on November 18, 2015 at 15% simple
interest per year? Use the following time factors.
a. Bankers Rule
b. Exact Simple Interest
c.
d.
