Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin The Simple Interest Formula
Interest is money. And if you’re the borrower, you pay for
the privilege of using the money. If you’re the lender, you’re paid the interest for your service of providing the money.
The amount of money being borrowed or loaned is the
principal, or the initial amount. The rate of interest is the percentage of the principal that it costs to borrow the money (or that you’re paid for using the money). And the time is the period — in years, months, or days —that the transaction is taking place.

I=PxRxT
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin HOW TO: Identify the principal, rate and time The Simple Interest Formula
The price paid for using money is called interest.
Principal is the amount borrowed or invested. Rate is the percent of the principal paid as interest per period, usually one year. Time must be expressed in the same unit of time as the rate. (i.e. one year)
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin The Simple Interest Formula
The interest formula shows how interest, principal, rate,
and time are related and gives us a way of finding one of these values if the other three values are known. Interest = principal * rate * time I =P *R *T I = PRT If the rate is a percent per year, the time must be expressed in years or a decimal or fractional part of a year. Similarly, if the rate is a percent per month, the time must be expressed in months.
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin Key Terms… The Simple Interest Formula
Interest – An amount paid or earned for the use of money. Simple interest – Interest earned when a loan or investment is repaid in a lump sum. Principal – The amount of money borrowed or invested.

Rate – The percent of the principal paid as interest per time period. Time – The number of days, months or years that the money is borrowed or invested.
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin HOW TO: Find the interest paid on a loan The Simple Interest Formula
Principal = (P) = $1,200
Interest rate = 8% (or 0.08) Time = 1 year Interest = P x R x T Interest = 1,200 x 0.08 x 1 Interest = $96 The interest on the loan is $96
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin The Simple Interest Formula
Simple interest is frequently used when small businesses act
as lenders in order to sell products and arrange for payments over the next two years rather than at the end of the time period. For example:
Amal purchases a new car from a local dealer. She makes
arrangements with the dealer to pay for the $23,995 car over the next 4 years at 5% interest (simple interest). If she is to make equal monthly payments, how much are those payments?

Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin Find the Principal, Rate or Time Using the Simple Interest Formula
The I=PRT formula allows you to solve for more than just the amount of interest accumulated. You also can use the formula to find the value of any of the variables — if you have the other three. For instance, you can determine the interest rate from the amount of interest paid. Example:
Shafi agreed to make quarterly payments of $781.25 for 4
years on a loan of $10,000. What simple interest rate is he paying?
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin Find the Principal, Rate or Time Using the Simple Interest Formula
You first need to determine the total amount of money being
repaid. If Shafi is making 4 payments a year for 4 years, you know that he’s making 16 payments of $781.25. So his total repayment is 16 × $781.25 = $12,500. You also know that he borrowed $10,000, so the interest he’s paying is: $12,500 –$10,000 = $2,500. The interest amount, $2,500, is the answer to the interest formula, I = PRT. So replace the I with $2,500, replace P with $10,000, replace T with 4, and then solve for R.

Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin Find the maturity value of a loan The Simple Interest Formula
Maturity value is the total amount of money
due by the end of a loan period. – The amount of the loan and interest. If principal and interest are known, add them. – MV = principal + PRT – MV = P(1+RT)
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin An Example… The Simple Interest Formula
Marcus Logan can purchase furniture on a 2-year
simple interest loan at 9% interest per year. What is the maturity value for a $2,500 loan? MV = P(1 + RT); (substitute known values) MV = $2,500 (1 + 0.09 x 2) MV = $2,500 (1 + 0.18) MV = $2,500 (1.18) MV = $2,950 Marcus will pay $2,950 at the end of two years.

Amjad is going to borrow $4,000 at 7.5%
interest. What is the maturity value of the loan after three years? – $4,900 Hanan will invest $3,000 at 8% for 5 years. What is the maturity value of the investment? – $4,200
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin Calculating Present Value
The simple interest method is restricted primarily to
loans and investments having terms of less than one year.
The compound interest method is employed in cases
where the term exceeds one year.
In the compound interest method, interest is periodically
calculated and converted to principle. It means that interest is added to the principle and is thereafter treated as principal.
Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin Calculating Present Value
Example: Susan secured a small business loan of $8000 for three years, compounded annually. If the interest rate was 9%, find the future value (compound amount). Solution: There are three interest periods, one for each of the three years. First year = 8000 + (8000 x 0.09 X 1) = 8000 + 720 = 8720 (this is maturity for year 1) Second year = 8720 + (8720 X 0.09 X 1) = 8720 + 784.8 = 9504.8 (MV for year 2) Third year = 9504.8 + 9504 X 0.09 X 1) = 9504.8 + 855.43 = 10360.23 (MV for year 3) The future value is $10,360.23 Discovering Finance Dr. Hassan Sharafuddin Calculating Present Value
