Study Notes
Introduction to Simple Interest
- Interest is the fee charged for using borrowed money.
- It is an expense for the borrower and income for the lender.
- Interest is calculated based on the principal amount, the interest rate, and the time period.
Parties Involved in Interest Payments
- Lender/Creditor: The party who provides the money or credit and expects to earn income from it.
- Borrower/Debtor: The party who uses the money or credit and expects future expenses for using it.
Elements of Interest Computation
- Principal: The initial amount of money borrowed or deposited.
- Interest Rate: The percentage charged for using the money over a certain period, expressed as a percentage per year unless otherwise stated.
- Time: The duration for which the money is borrowed, measured in years, months, or days.
Simple Interest Calculation
- Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount.
- It is computed once from the initial borrowing date until the maturity date.
- Formula for simple interest: Interest (I) = Principal (P) x Rate (R) x Time (T)
Example 1.2: Calculating Simple Interest
- Alexa borrowed Php 600,000 at 9% interest for 1 year.
- Simple interest = (Php 600,000) x (0.09) x (1 year) = Php 54,000
Example 1.3: Calculating Principal Amount
- James borrowed an unknown amount at 6% interest for 3 years, paying Php 9,900 in interest.
- Principal = Interest / (Rate x Time) = Php 9,900 / (0.06 x 3 years) = Php 55,000
Example 1.4: Determining Time Period
- Jenny borrowed Php 90,000 at 9% interest and paid Php 16,200 in interest.
- Time = Interest / (Principal x Rate) = Php 16,200 / (Php 90,000 x 0.09) = 2 years
Example 1.5: Total Amount Payable
- Alex borrowed Php 10,000 at 2% monthly interest for 2 months.
- Simple interest = (Php 10,000) x (0.02) x (2 months) = Php 400
- Total amount payable = Principal + Interest = Php 10,000 + Php 400 = Php 10,400
