Lesson 26 Supplementary Exercises on compound interest calculations including tasks on interest rate per period, frequency of conversion, maturity values, and present value.

Solution

The exercise sheet you've uploaded is about compound interest and includes tasks related to calculating the interest rate per period, frequency of conversion, and maturity values. Here’s a breakdown of the tasks:

Part A

  • You’re asked to complete a table by determining the interest rate per period and the total number of conversion periods for different nominal rates and compounding frequencies.

Part B

  • This part involves completing another table by calculating maturity values and compound interest amounts over a specified time period and at different compounding frequencies.

Part C

  • This section contains various compound interest problems that require finding future values, required deposits, and comparing investment growth rates with different compounding options.

Would you like detailed guidance on completing each part, or do you need help with a specific question?


Related Questions:

  1. How do you calculate the interest rate per period for different compounding frequencies?
  2. What formula should be used to compute the maturity value in compound interest problems?
  3. How do conversion frequency and compounding intervals impact the total interest?
  4. Can you explain the process to calculate future value when interest is compounded semi-annually?
  5. What is the effect of different nominal interest rates on maturity values with varying compounding periods?

Tip:

Always ensure to convert the nominal rate to the rate per period by dividing it by the number of compounding periods in a year.
