Mathematics of Finance

  • Learning Objectives: Students will learn about interest concepts, simple and compound interest, annuities, present value, future value, and their applications in leasing, capital expenditure, and bond valuation.

Interest

  • Simple Interest: Interest calculated only on the principal amount.
  • Compound Interest: Interest calculated on both the principal and accumulated interest.
  • Effective Rate of Interest: The actual interest rate earned after considering compounding frequency.
  • Annuity: A series of equal payments made at regular intervals over a period.
  • Annuity Types:
    • Annuity regular: Payments at the end of the period.
    • Annuity due/immediate: Payments at the beginning of the period.
  • Applications of Annuities:
    • Leasing
    • Capital Expenditure (Investment Decisions)
    • Valuation of Bonds
  • Sinking Funds: Funds used to repay a debt through regular payments.
  • First Payment/Receipt:
    • End of the period
    • Beginning of the period
  • Future Value of Annuity: Is the future worth of a series of periodic payments.
  • Present Value of Annuity: Is the current worth of a series of periodic payments.
  • Principal: The initial value of the loan or investment.
  • Rate of Interest: The rate at which interest is charged (usually expressed as a percentage).
  • Accumulated amount/Balance: The total amount including principal and interest earned.

Learning Methodology

  • Simple Interest Calculation: Formulas and examples are provided for calculating simple interest.
  • Compound Interest Calculation: Formulas and examples are provided for calculating compound interest.
  • Relationship between simple and compound interest: Simple interest is computed only on the principal, while compound interest is computed on the principal plus accumulated interest.

Specific Examples
