Learning Target: 1. I can find the present value given the final amount.
DISCUSSION:
Finding the Present Value (Discounting at Simple Interest Rate)
Present Value – means current value of specified future amount. It is the value now of a sum of
money expected to be received in the future, calculated by subtracting the interest and other
value that will accrue in the intervening period.
F
Formula: Since F = P ( 1 + rt), therefore P =
(1 + rt )
P = F ( 1 + rt)-1
P = P35,000( 1 + .06 * 3 )-1
P = P29,661.02
8
Solution: F = P15,000 r = 6% t=
12
P = F ( 1 + rt)-1
8 -1
P = P15,000( 1 + .06 * )
12
P = P14,423.08
Example 3: What principal will amount to P35,000 in 2 years if the interest rate is 6%
Solution: F = P35,000 r = 6% t=2
P = F ( 1 + rt)-1
P = P35,000( 1 + .06 * 2 )-1
P = P31,250.00
ACTIVITY 1
1. 20,000.00 5% 3 years
4. 30,000.00 3% 36,000.00
5. 3,750.00 4% 1 ½ year
6. 7% 3 ½ months 49,000.00
8. 14,500.00 6% 15,022.00
2. Find the present value on P15,024.00 for 8 months at a simple interest rate of 11%.
3. If P8,520.00 is the present value of P9,500.00 which is due at the end of 6 months, Find the
simple interest rate.
7. What principal will amount to P67,500.00 in 9 months if the interest rate is 12%?
