  1. Interest Rates Chapter 5.1-5.3

  2. Outline • Interest Rate Quotes and Adjustments • The Effective Annual Rate (EAR) and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) • The determinants of Interest Rates • Real versus Nominal Interest Rates • The Yield Curve • Further questions

  3. Interest Rates Quotes and Adjustments

  4. The Effective Annual Rate (EAR) • The effective annual rate reflects the dollar interest received from investing $1 for 1 year. This is the rate we have been considering up till now. • This EAR is often quoted as “Annual Percentage Rate” or “APR” when payments are made throughout the year such as mortgages, car loans and other investments

  5. Effective Annual Rate Interest rates for periods smaller than one year: • Given a certain EAR we can calculate the interest accumulated for a shorter period than one year. Example: Receiving 5% for one year is equivalent to receiving 2.47% every six months At the end of the first six months we have $1.0247. If this amount is reinvested for the rest of the year, then $1.05 is accumulated in total

  6. Effective Annual Rate

  7. Annual Percentage Rate (APR) The annual percentage rate (APR) indicates the amount of simple interest earned in one year, that is the amount without the effect of compounding – it does not fully take into account the time value of money • The APR is quoted for a given number of compounding periods • The compounding period can be “annual”, “semiannual”, “quarterly”, “monthly”, or even “daily”

  8. Converting APR to EAR The interest received per compounding period for an APR with k compounding periods is: Converting APR to EAR

  17. The Yield Curve of Interest Rates Interest rates change depending on the horizon of the investment: • Banks often offer different rates on loans depending on their term The Yield Curve: depicts the Term Structure of interest rates or the relation between the investment term and the interest rate

  21. Further questions

  22. College Question 10 (2nd Edition): Your son has been accepted into college. This college guarantees that your son’s tuition will not increase for the four years he attends college. The first $10,000 tuition payment is due in six months. After that, the same payment is due every six months until you have made a total of eight payments. The college offers a bank account that allows you to withdraw money every six months and has a fixed APR of 4% (semiannual) guaranteed to remain the same over the next four years. How much money must you deposit today if you intend to make no further deposits and would like to make all the tuition payments from this account, leaving the account empty when the last payment is made?

  23. College Eight payments of $10,000 due semiannually and starting six months from now. The six month interest rate is The required deposit to cover all future tuition expenses

But having just quit your job and started an MBA program, you are in debt and you expect to be in debt for at least the next 2.5 years. You plan to use credit cards to pay your expenses; luckily you have one with a low (fixed) rate of 15% APR (monthly). Which payment option is best for you?
