Study Notes

Simple Interest and Simple Discount

  • The formula for simple interest is: I = P rt
  • The formula for simple discount is: P = S (1 - dt)
  • The relationship between the simple interest rate and the simple discount rate is: r = 1 - dt

Compound Interest

  • The formula for compound interest is: S = P (1 + rt)
  • The formula for ordinary compound interest is: S = P (1 + j/m)^(mt)
  • The formula for fractional compounding is: S = P (1 + j/m)^(mt) where t is a fraction of a year

Time Lines and Periods

  • A time line is a graphical representation of the periods involved in a problem
  • Periods can be expressed as a fraction of a year
  • Days can be converted to years by dividing by 365

Calculations using the HP10BII Calculator

  • Use normal mode for calculations
  • Use the formula: I = P rt to calculate the accumulated interest
  • Use the formula: S = P (1 + rt) to calculate the compound interest

Odd Period Calculations

  • Use the method of fractional compounding to calculate the value of the total payments
  • Express the odd periods as a fraction of a year
  • Calculate the value of the payments at the specified month

Bond Pricing

  • The formula for the all-in price of a bond is: P = danz + 100(1 + z)^(-n)
  • The number of half years (n) can be calculated using the following tips:
    • Determine the first coupon date after the settlement date
    • Determine the number of half years until the maturity date
    • Subtract the year of the next coupon date from the year of the maturity date to get the number of years until maturity

Perpetuity

  • The formula for perpetuity is: P = R / i
  • You will receive the payment R indefinitely

Deferred Annuity

  • With a deferred annuity, you are unable to start to repay your debt immediately
  • Your first payment is a number of payment intervals after the end of the first interest period
  • First calculate the present value of the payments made and then discount this amount back to now by using compound interest

Amortisation

  • Use the present value formula for annuities to determine the payment
  • The formula for amortisation is: P = R [(1 + i)^(-n) - 1] / i

This quiz involves solving a problem related to financial mathematics, specifically calculating accumulated interest. It requires applying mathematical concepts to real-world financial scenarios.
