  • A house and lot worth Php 150,000 can be paid in cash, or through an installment basis with a Php 50,000 downpayment, Php 30,000 at the end of 1 year, Php 40,000 at the end of 2 years, and a final payment at the end of 4 years, with an interest rate of 14%.

Equitable Replacement of Obligations

  • Eq. Value Sample Problem 1: Find equal payments x at the end of 2 and 4 years that will replace obligations of Php 3,000 due in 3 years and Php 5,000 due in 5 years, both at 10% interest compounded annually, when money is worth 12% effective.

Continuous Compounding

  • F = future worth, P = present worth, r = nominal rate, t = number of years
  • Sample Problem 1: Find the accumulated amount after 5 years of Php 1,000 invested at 10% compounded continuously.
  • Sample Problem 2: An investment of Php 100,000 at 10% interest compounded monthly for 5 years and 8% compounded continuously beyond 5 years, what is the value of money at the end of 8 years?

Discount, Future Worth, and Present Worth

  • d = rate of discount, i = rate of interest
  • Sample Problem 1: A man borrowed Php 2,000 and agreed to pay at the end of 6 months; the bank gave him Php 1,920 cash.

Compound Interest and Cash Flow

  • Compound interest is computed at the end of each interest period, and the interest earned is added to the principal.
  • Effective rate of interest is the actual rate of interest on the principal for 1 year.

Mode of Compounding

  • Mode of compounding can be annually, semi-annually, biannually, quarterly, semi-quarterly, monthly, bimonthly, or semi-monthly.

Sample Problems

  • Sample Problem 1: Php 1M is invested with a nominal interest rate of 10% compounded quarterly, what is the final worth after a year, and what is the effective rate of interest?
  • Sample Problem 2: If P500,000 is invested at 8% interest compounded quarterly, how many years will it take for this amount to accumulate to P900,000?
