Compound Interest Lesson 3.5
Agree or Disagree ? • A bank account that pays 12% per year yields the same results as a bank account that pays 1% every month and compounds interest.
Nominal vs. Effective Rate • Nominal rate • The stated yearly rate • "12% compounded monthly" • Effective rate • The result of the compounding • 12% compounded monthly actually gives a 12.683% return on your investment
Compound Interest Formula • Actually we saw this in the previous lesson • Here • r = the nominal rate • Then is the decimal for the effective rate
Periodic vs. Continuous • Note the similarities between periodic compoundingand continuous compounding
Periodic vs. Continuous • The k in the continuous model will always be similaror close to the r value in the periodic compounding model • Generally r must be slightly larger because there are "less" compounding periods per year • Example • Convert B = P e .05t to periodic • Convert 7.25% compounded monthly to continuous form
