Study Notes

Simple Depreciation

  • Simple depreciation, or straight-line depreciation, reduces an asset's value by a fixed amount annually.
  • Depreciation is based on the initial principal.
  • The formula for simple depreciation is: (A = P(1 - in)), where:
    • (A) = Book value or depreciated value.
    • (P) = Principal amount.
    • (i) = Depreciation rate (as a decimal).
    • (n) = Time period in years.
  • The depreciation amount remains constant each year.
  • Total depreciation is calculated as ( P \times i \times n ).
  • The depreciated value decreases linearly over time.

Compound Depreciation

  • Compound depreciation, or reducing-balance depreciation, calculates depreciation on the asset's remaining value each year.
  • This results in a decreasing depreciation amount each year.
  • The formula for calculating compound depreciation is: (A = P(1 - i)^n), where:
    • (A) = Book value or depreciated value.
    • (P) = Principal amount.
    • (i) = Depreciation rate (as a decimal).
    • (n) = Time period in years.
  • The book value never reaches zero with compound depreciation.
  • Depreciated value follows an exponential decay pattern.

Finding Depreciation Rate ((i))

  • The annual depreciation rate ((i)) for simple or compound decay can be found by solving the respective depreciation formulas for (i).
  • For simple decay: (A = P(1 - in)).
  • For compound decay: (A = P(1 - i)^n).
  • For simple decay, the relationship between initial value, final value, and depreciation rate is linear.
  • For compound decay, solving for the rate involves an exponential equation.

Timelines

  • Timelines help visualize compounding periods and interest rate changes over an investment or loan term.
  • The interest rate and number of compounding periods should be adjusted based on the frequency of compounding (e.g., quarterly, monthly).
  • When interest rates change or deposits/withdrawals occur, timelines should be broken into segments, and each period calculated separately.
  • The compound interest formula is used to find the accumulated value at the end of each segment, and the principal is adjusted for the next period accordingly.

Compound Interest Formula

  • The formula is: (A = P\Bigl(1 + \frac{i}{p}\Bigr)^{np}), where:
    • (A) = Accumulated amount.
    • (P) = Principal amount.
    • (i) = Annual interest rate (as a decimal).
    • (p) = Number of compounding periods per year.
    • (n) = Number of years.

Calculations

  • For the initial period, calculate the accumulated value using the compound interest formula.
  • Adjust the principal for any deposits or withdrawals.
  • For subsequent periods, recalculate the accumulated value, considering interest rate changes or transactions.
  • Sum the values from each period to determine the total accumulated value.

Formulas for Interest and Depreciation

  • Simple Interest: (A = P(1 + in))
  • Compound Interest: (A = P(1 + i)^n)
  • Simple Depreciation: (A = P(1 - in))
  • Compound Depreciation: (A = P(1 - i)^n)
  • Effective Interest Rate: (1 + i_{\text{effective}} = \Bigl(1 + \frac{i_{\text{nominal}}}{m}\Bigr)^m)
  • Nominal Interest Rate: (i_{\text{nominal}} = m \Bigl[\bigl(1 + i_{\text{effective}}\bigr)^{\frac{1}{m}} - 1\Bigr])
