LO 1: Explain the Difference Between Simple Interest and Compound
Interest
Money grows over time when you receive a return on your investment. Interest: Is the
“rent” charged for the use of money. There are two ways of computing interest:
Simple interest, where interest earned is not reinvested
Compound interest, where interest earned is reinvested

, Simple Interest is calculated as: I = P x r x t, where:
I = interest earned
P = principal, or present value
r = annual interest rate expressed as a decimal
t = time (in years)
Compound interest is a powerful concept. It is the process of earning interest on
interest.
The money in your account earns interest, but the interest itself also earns
interest – eventually snowballing into a larger and larger base on which to earn
interest.
We will solve TVM problems involving compound interest using the financial
calculator only.

problems.
N: number of payment periods
