Q

Rafael deposits P20,000 in a savings account that pays interest at the rate of 5% per year. How much is the interest and what will be the total amount after two years?

A

Given: P = P20,000 r = 5% or 0.05 t = 2
Solution: I = (20,000) (0.05) (2) = P2,000
F = P + I = 20,000 + 2,000 = P22,000
The interest is P2,000. The total amount of Rafael’s money after 2 years is P22,000.

Q

Sam wants to borrow P12,000 payable in two years at 12% discount rate. How much will Sam receive on the origin date? How much will he pay on the maturity date?

A

Given: F = P12,000 d = 12% or 0.12 t = 2 years

Solution:
P = F (1-dt)
= P12,000 [ 1 – (0.12)(2) ]
P = P9,120

*Sam will receive P9120 on the origin date. However, he would pay P12,000 on the maturity date since the interest has already deducted in advance.

Q

If Mrs. De Leon invested P12,900 for 4 years in a bank that pays 3% compounded semi-annually, how much will she receive after 4 years? How much interest will Mrs. De Leon’s investment earn?

A

Given: P = P12,900 t = 4 years
m = 2 j = 3% or 0.03
Solution:
i = 0.03/2 = 0.015 n = 4 (2) = 8
F = P (1 + i)n
F = P12,900 (1 + 0.015)8 = P14,531.75
I = P14,531.75 – P12,900 = P1,631.75
*De Leon will receive P 14,531.75 after 4 years. Her investment will earn total interest of P1,631.75 after 4 years.

47
Q

What is the present value of P35,000 due in 7 years and 6 months if the rate is 12% compounded quarterly?

A

Given: F = P35,000 t = 7.5 years
m = 4 j = 12% or 0.12
Solution:
i = 0.12 / 4 = 0.03
n = (7.5) (4) = 30
P = F ( 1 + i )-n
P = P35,000 ( 1 + 0.03 )-30
P = P14,419.54
*The present value of P35,000 that is due at the end of 7.5 years is P14,419.54

48
Q

How much do you need to invest now, to get P10,000 in 10 years at 8% interest rate?

A

Solution:
P = P10,000(1+0.08)-10 = 10,000 (2.1589)
P = P4,631.93
So, P4,631.93 invested at 8% for 10 Years grows to $10,000

49
Q

You take out a P1,000 loan for 12 months and it says 1% per month, how much do you pay back?

A

Just use the Future Value formula with “n” being the number of months:
Solution: F = P (1+r)n
= P1,000 × (1.01)12
= P1,000 × 1.12683
F = P1,126.83 to pay back

50
Q

At 6% interest with monthly compounding does not mean 6% per month, it means 0.5% per month (6% divided by 12 months), and is worked out like this:

A

Solution: F = P (1+r/n)n
= P1,000 (1 + 0.06/12)12
= P1,000 (1 + 0.005)12
= P1,000 (1.005)12
= P1,000 × 1.06168…
F = P1,061.68 to pay back
*This is equal to a 6.168% (P1,000 grew to P1,061.68) for the whole year.

51
Q

Example: you have $1,000, and want it to grow to $2,000 in 5 Years, what interest rate do you need?
The formula is: r = ( F / P )1/n - 1
Note: the little “1/n” is a Fractional Exponent (radicals or rational exponent). first calculate 1/n, then use that as the exponent on your calculator.
For example 20.2 is entered as 2, “x^y”, 0, ., 2, =
Now we can “plug in” the values to get the result:

A

Solution: r = (P2,000 / P1,000)1/5 – 1
= (2)0.2 – 1
= 1.1487 − 1
r = 0.1487 and 0.1487 or 14.87%

*So you need 14.87% interest rate to turn $1,000 into $2,000 in 5 years.

52
Q

What interest rate do you need to turn P1,000 into P5,000 in 20 Years?

A

Solution: r = (P5,000 / P1,000)1/20 – 1
= (5)0.05 – 1
= 1.0838 – 1
r = 0.0838 and 0.0838 or 8.38%.
*So 8.38% will turn $1,000 into $5,000 in 20 Years.

53
Q

You want to know how many periods it will take to turn P1,000 into P2,000 at 10% interest.
This is the formula (note: it uses the natural logarithm function ln):

A

Solution: n = ln(F / P) / ln(1 + r)

The “ln” function should be on a good calculator.
You could also use log, just don’t mix the two.

Anyway, let’s “plug in” the values:
n = ln( P2,000/P1,000 ) / ln( 1 + 0.10 )
= ln(2)/ln(1.10)
= 0.69315/0.09531
n = 7.27
*It will need 7.27 years to turn P1,000 into P2,000 at 10% interest.

54
Q

How many years to turn P1,000 into P10,000 at 5% interest?

A

Solution: n = ln( P10,000/P1,000 ) / ln( 1 + 0.05 )
= ln(10)/ln(1.05)
= 2.3026/0.04879
n = 47.19
*47 Years. But we are talking about a 10-fold increase, at only 5% interest.
