    Study Notes

    Simple interest

    • Simple interest is calculated on the original principal amount
    • The formula for simple interest is I = PRT where:
      • I = Simple interest
      • P = Principal amount
      • R = Interest rate per annum
      • T = Time in years

    Compound Interest

    • Compound interest is calculated on the principal amount plus accumulated interest.
    • The formula for compound interest is FV = PV(1 + r)^n where:
      • FV = Future value of the investment
      • PV = Principal amount
      • r = Interest rate per annum
      • n = Number of compounding periods

    Depreciation

    • Depreciation is the decline in value of an asset over time
    • Reducing-balance depreciation means the value of the asset depreciates by a fixed percentage each year
    • The formula for reducing-balance depreciation is
      • DV = IV (1 - r/100)^n where:
        • DV = Depreciated Value
        • IV = Initial value
        • r = Depreciation rate per annum
        • n = Number of years
    • To find the rate of depreciation, use the equation:
      • r = 100 (1 - (DV/IV)^(1/n)) where:
        • DV = Depreciated Value
        • IV = Initial value
        • n = Number of years

    Loan Repayments

    • Total repayment amount is the sum of the principal amount plus the interest
    • Repayment amount is calculated by dividing the total amount to be repaid by the number of repayments
    • The formula for loan repayment is:
      • Repayment = (P + I)/n where:
        • P = Principal amount
        • I = Interest amount
        • n = Number of repayments
