Legal History

TESDA: Technical-Vocational
St. Ignatius Technical College, Inc. with business address at Zone 11, National
Highway, Barangay Poblacion, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, a family-owned technical
school for secondary graduates who intend to pursue technical studies on Computer
Technology was granted a juridical personality by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 29, 2003 through its Registration No. CN 200322733. The
school started its operation by offering TESDA courses namely: Two Years Diploma in
Computer Technician and Two Years Diploma in Computer Programming. SITC has run
these programs for almost three years before each respective title was changed. In 2007,
TESDA Director General issued a directive that all diploma courses will be delivered
based on the number of hours as determined and prescribed by the technical school
management. Consequently, SITC diploma courses were changed from Diploma in
Computer Technician to Computer Hardware Servicing NC II with 1,800 hours duration
of course delivery. Similarly, Diploma in Computer Programming was changed to
Programming NC IV with 1,800 duration of course delivery. SITC management has
successfully delivered the same computer courses under their new titles until 2011.
Another mandate was released by TESDA Director General in 2011, limiting the
number of hours of delivery of TESDA courses based on TESDA Training Regulations.
With such mandate, Computer Hardware Servicing NC II with 1,800 hours duration of
course delivery was limited to 292 hours only, since that year up to the present. TESDA
did not offer any more Programming NC IV because of some stringent requirements of
the program. SITC continues its operation with only one program being offered to
students.
In 2015, when the demand for Bookkeeping NC III was rising, SITC management
endeavored to apply with TESDA R10 to offer the course and luckily the Tech-Voc agency
on April 23, 2015 granted a Registration No 201510043033, WTR 2436 for Bookkeeping

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE i


NC III 292 hours duration of course delivery. Since May 2015 up to the present, SITC
continues teaching Bookkeeping NC III to interested students.
DepEd: Senior High School
In July 2015 when the Department of Education (DepEd) encouraged the private
school owners to participate in the delivery of the new program of the basic education
which was the senior high curriculum, SITC management endeavored to apply through
DepEd Central Office. After compliance with all the requirements asked by the education
agency submitted through DepEd regional and provincial offices, the school was granted
a Government Permit No. 230, s. 2015 on December 10, 2015 to operate one Academic
Track: Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), and a Technical -Vocational
Track: ICT- Computer Hardware Servicing NCII effective SY 2016-2017
During SY 2016-2017, while the delivery of two senior high school tracks were
going on, many parents as well as graduating junior high students kept on requesting
SITC management to offer another academic track which was Humanities and Social
Sciences (HUMSS). Consequently, in March 2017, SITC management endeavored to
apply to offer HUMSS for the next SY 2017-2018. Luckily, on May 8, 2017 DepEd, RO-
X, Government Permit No. SHS-P 076, s. 2017, was granted to the school to operate the
aforementioned academic track effective SY 2017-2018.
Again, owing to the persistent demand of many prospective senior high students
for a Technical-Vocational Livelihood Track on Automotive Servicing, SITC management
endeavored to apply for a new permit to deliver Automotive Servicing NC I & NC II. On
July 19, 2019, a DepEd RO-X, Government Permit SHS P-155, s. 2019 was granted to
the school to operate the aforementioned Tech-Voc Track effective SY 2019-2020.
To date, SITC is delivering four tracks: two academics (ABM and HUMSS) and
two Tech-Voc (ICT and Automotive).

INTRODUCTION
There is no doubt that the vast majority of people find mathematics dry, dull, boring,

painfully difficult and irrelevant. Unfortunately, there seem to be few people who are really

interested in convincing them otherwise. Most mathematician fail to relate the difficulties

that others have trying to learn the subject, and most schoolteachers know terribly little

about the essence of Mathematics to instill a passion for it in their students. I personally

believe that Mathematics is both aesthetically and tremendously. It has the power to

unravel the nature of the physical world and simultaneously fill you with the same sense

of awe comes from listening to great music or appreciating great art. My hope is that this

small library helps some people see these aspects of math that experts know well but

often close fail to convey to others.

It is important to remember that, in Mathematics, the process of learning something

is usually just as important as the result. Even if, because of calculators, you never

actually have to use long division, the process of understanding how it teaches abstract

thinking and gives important insights into what decimal numbers are.

This course is intended for students taking the subject General Mathematics,

particularly by senior high school learners. The subject is divided into two MODULES for

the sake of home-based delivery of learning instructions. As much as possible, the

module writer tried to refrain from using difficult and highly technical language to let

students partake of the great wealth of ideas disclosed by generations of thinkers.

It is hoped that this work becomes an aid in your journey in understanding yourself,

what it means to be a human being, or what it means to be you.

Module 2 is composed of the following lessons:

1.1. Interest Rate and Rate of Return
Interest is the manifestation of the time value of money. Computationally, interest
is the difference between an ending amount of money and the beginning amount. If the
difference is zero or negative, there is no interest. There are always two perspectives to
an amount of interest—interest paid and interest earned. These are illustrated in Figure
1.1. Interest is paid when a person or organization borrowed money (obtained a loan) and
repays a larger amount over time. Interest is earned when a person or organization saved,
invested, or lent money and obtains a return of a larger amount over time. The numerical
values and formulas used are the same for both perspectives, but the interpretations are
different.
Interest paid on borrowed funds (a loan) is determined using the original amount,
also called the principal,
Interest = amount owed now – principal Equation 1.1
When interest paid over a specific time unit is expressed as a percentage of the principal,
the result is called the interest rate.
𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑟𝑢𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 Equation 1.2
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (%) = × 100%
𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑙
The time unit of the rate is called the interest period. By far the most common interest
period used to state an interest rate is 1 year. Shorter time periods can be used, such as
1% per month. Thus, the interest period of the interest rate should always be included. If
only the rate is stated, for example, 8.5%, a 1-year interest period is assumed.

Figure 1.1. (a) Interest paid over time to lender. (b) Interest earned over time by investor.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 6


EXAMPLE 1.1
An employee at St. Ignatius Technical College borrows ₱ 10,000 on May 1 and
must repay a total of ₱ 10,700 exactly 1 year later. Determine the interest amount and
the interest rate paid.

SOLUTION. The perspective here is that of the borrower since ₱10,700 repays a loan.
Apply Equation 1.1 to determine the interest paid.
Interest paid = ₱10,700 – 10,000 = ₱700
Equation 1.2 determines the interest rate paid for 1 year.
₱700
% 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 = × 100% = 7% 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟
₱10,000

EXAMPLE 1.2
SITC plans to borrow ₱20,000 from a bank for 1 year at 9% interest for new
photocopier. Compute the interest and the total amount due after 1 year.

SOLUTION. Compute the total interest accrued by solving Equation 1.2 for interest
accrued.
Interest = ₱20,000(0.09) = ₱1800
The total amount due is the sum of principal and interest.
Total due = ₱20,000 + 1800 = ₱21,800
The total amount due may also be computed as
Total due = principal(1 + interest rate) = ₱20,000(1.09) = ₱21,800
Later we will use this method to determine future amounts for times longer than one
interest period.

From the perspective of a saver, a lender, or an investor, interest earned (Figure 1.1b)
is the final amount minus the initial amount, or principal.
Interest earned = total amount now – principal Equation 1.3
Interest earned over a specific period is expressed as a percentage of the original amount
and is called rate of return (ROR).

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 7


𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑟𝑢𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 Equation 1.4
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛 (%) = × 100%
𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑙
The time unit for rate of return is called the interest period, just as for the borrower’s
perspective. Again, the most common period is 1 year.
The term return on investment (ROI) is used equivalently with ROR in different
industries and settings, especially where large capital funds are committed to
engineering-oriented programs.
The numerical values in Equations 1.2 and 1.4 are the same, but the term interest
rate paid is more appropriate for the borrower’s perspective, while the rate of return
earned is better for the investor’s perspective.

EXAMPLE 1.3
(a) Calculate the amount deposited 1 year ago to have ₱1000 now at an interest rate of
5% per year.
(b) Calculate the amount of interest earned during this period.

SOLUTION
(a) The total amount accrued (₱1000) is the sum of the original deposit and the earned
interest.
If 𝑥 is the original deposit,
Total accrued = deposit + deposit(interest rate)
₱1000 = 𝑥 + 𝑥 (0.05) = 𝑥(1 + 0.05) = 1.05𝑥
The original deposit is
1000
𝑥= = ₱952.38
1.05
(b) Apply Equation 1.3 to determine the interest earned.
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 = ₱1000 − 952.38 = ₱47.62

In Examples 1.1 to 1.3 the interest period was 1 year, and the interest amount was
calculated at the end of one period. When more than one interest period is involved, e.g.,
the amount of interest after 3 years, it is necessary to state whether the interest is accrued

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 8


on a simple or compound basis from one period to the next. This topic is covered later in
this lesson.

1.2. Simple and Compound Interest


The terms interest, interest period, and interest rate are useful in calculating equivalent
sums of money for one interest period in the past and one period in the future. However,
for more than one interest period, the terms simple interest and compound interest
become important.
Simple interest is calculated using the principal only, ignoring any interest
accrued in preceding interest periods. The total simple interest over several periods is
computed as
Simple interest = (principal)(interest rate)(number of periods) Equation 1.5
𝐼 = 𝑃𝑟𝑛
where 𝐼 is the amount of interest earned or paid and the interest rate 𝑟 is expressed in
decimal form.

EXAMPLE 1.4
Banco de Oro lent a school ₱5,000,000 to retrofit an environmentally unfriendly
building. The loan is for 3 years at 10% per year simple interest. How much money will
the school repay at the end of 3 years?

SOLUTION. The interest for each of the 3 years is


Interest per year = ₱5,000,000(0.10) = ₱500,000
Total interest for 3 years from Equation 1.5 is
Total interest = ₱5,000,000(3)(0.10) = ₱1,500,000

The amount due after 3 years is


Total due = ₱5,000,000 + 1,500,000 = ₱6,500,000
The interest accrued in the first year and in the second year does not earn interest. The
interest due each year is ₱500,000 calculated only on the ₱5,000,000 loan principal.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 9


In most financial and economic analyses, we use compound interest
calculations. For compound interest, the interest accrued for each interest period is
calculated on the principal plus the total amount of interest accumulated in all
previous periods. Thus, compound interest means interest on top of interest.
Compound interest reflects the effect of the time value of money on the interest
also. Now the interest for one period is calculated as

Compound interest = (principal + all accrued interest)(interest rate) Equation 1.6

In mathematical terms, the interest 𝐼𝑡 for time period 𝑡 may be calculated using the
relation.
𝑗=𝑡−1 Equation 1.7
𝐼𝑡 = (𝑃 + ∑ 𝐼𝑗 ) (𝑖)
𝑗=1

EXAMPLE 1.5
Assume a school borrows ₱5,000,000 at 10% per year compound interest and will
pay the principal and all the interest after 3 years. Compute the annual interest and total
amount due after 3 years. Compare with the previous example that involved simple
interest.

SOLUTION. To include compounding of interest, the annual interest and total owed each
year are calculated by Equation 1.6.
Interest, year 1: 5,000,000(0.10) = ₱500,000
Total due, year 1: 5,000,000 + 500,000 = ₱5,500,000
Interest, year 2: 5,500,000(0.10) = ₱550,000
Total due, year 2: 5,500,000 + 550,000 = ₱6,050,000
Interest, year 3: 6,050,000(0.10) = ₱605,000
Total due, year 3: 6,050,000 + 605,000 = ₱6,655,000.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 10


The repayment plan requires no payment until year 3 when all interest and the principal,
a total of ₱6,655,000, are due. The differences due to compounding are clear. An extra
₱6,655,000 – 6,500,000 = ₱155,000 in interest is due for the compounded interest loan.
Note that while simple interest due each year is constant, the compounded interest
due grows geometrically. Due to this geometric growth of compound interest, the
difference between simple and compound interest accumulation increases rapidly as the
time frame increases. For example, if the loan is for 10 years, not 3, the extra paid for
compounding interest may be calculated to be ₱2,968,712.
A more efficient way to calculate the total amount due after a number of years in
Example 1.5 is to utilize the fact that compound interest increases geometrically. This
allows us to skip the year-by-year computation of interest. In this case, the total amount
due at the end of each year is
Year 1: ₱5,000,000(1.10)1 = ₱5,500,000
Year 2: ₱5,000,000(1.10)2 = ₱6,050,000
Year 3: ₱5,000,000(1.10)3 = ₱6,655,000
This allows future totals owed to be calculated directly without intermediate steps. The
general form of the equation is

Total due after n years, future value = principal(1 + interest rate)n years Equation 1.8
𝐹 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑟)𝑛

where 𝑟 is expressed in decimal form. Equation 1.8 was applied above to obtain the
₱6,655,000 due after 3 years. This fundamental relation will be used many times in the
upcoming lessons.

EXAMPLE 1.6
Find the compound amount on deposit at the end of 1 year if ₱20,000.00 is
deposited at 4% compounded (a) annually and (b) semi-annually.

SOLUTION.
(a) Using Equation 1.8 where P = ₱20,000.00, r = 4% or 0.04, and t = 1, we have
𝐹 = 20,000(1 + 0.04)1 = ₱20,800.00
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 11
(b) A rate of 4% per year compounded semi-annually means a rate of 2% per half year.
The period (interval for compounding) is 6 months. There are two periods per year: the
𝑟
rate is 2 per period, and the number of periods in 𝑛 years is 2𝑛. Thus, if the interest is

compounded semi-annually for 𝑛 years, the amount 𝐹 is


𝑟 2𝑛
𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + )
2
0.04 2(1)
𝐹 = 20,000 (1 + ) = ₱20,808.00
2
𝑖
In the same way, if interest is compounded quarterly, the rate per period is and
4
there are 4𝑛 periods in 𝑛 years. In symbols, the compound amount is
𝑟 4𝑛
𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + )
4
In general, the pattern can be extended for compounding 𝑘 times per year to get
𝑟 𝑘𝑛 Equation 1.9
𝐹 = 𝑃 (1 + )
𝑘
𝑟
where 𝑘 is called the periodic rate.

EXAMPLE 1.7
Identify the interest rate per compounding period and the number of compounding
periods for each of the following investments.
(a) 12% compounded monthly for 4 years
(b) 10.2% compounded quarterly for 9 quarters

SOLUTION.
𝑟 0.12
(a) 𝑟 = 12% = 0.12 and 𝑘 = 12 (months per year), then 12 = 12
= 0.01. The number of

compounding periods is 12𝑡 = 12 ∙ 4 = 48.


𝑟 0.102
(b) 𝑟 = 10.2% = 0.102 and 𝑘 = 4 (quarters per year), then 4 = = 0.026. The number
4

of compounding periods is 9.

2.1. Annuity
If the payment for each period is fixed, and the compound interest rate is fixed over
a specified time, the payment is called an annuity payment. Accounts associated with
streams of annuity payments are called annuities. If the payment is made at the end of
each period, it is called an ordinary annuity. If the payment is due at the beginning of
each period, the annuity is called an annuity due. Each payment in an annuity is called
the periodic payment. The time between the successive payment dates of an annuity is
called the payment interval. The interval between the beginning of the first payment
period and the end of the last payment period is called the term of the annuity.
The following are examples of annuities: rent payment, pension, and monthly
payment of car loan or mortgage.
The flowchart below gives the different kinds of annuities.

Figure 2.1. Difference between Simple Annuity and General Annuity

Definition of Terms

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 16


Annuity – a fixed sum of money paid to someone at regular intervals, subject to a fixed
compound interest rate.
Annuity Certain – payable for a definite duration. Begins and ends on a definite or fixed
date (monthly payment of car loan).
Simple Annuity – interest conversion or compounding period is equal or the same as the
payment interval.
General Annuity – interest conversion or compounding period is unequal or not the same
as the payment interval.
Ordinary Annuity (Ao)– annuity in which the periodic payment is made at the end of each
payment interval.
Annuity Due – an annuity in which the periodic payment is made at the beginning of each
payment interval.
Deferred Annuity – the periodic payment is not made at the beginning nor at the end of
each payment interval, but some later date.
General Ordinary Annuity – first payment is made at the end of every payment interval.
General Annuity Due – first payment is made at the beginning of every payment interval.
Perpetuities – a series of periodic payments which are to run infinitely or forever.

Example of a simple annuity is a deposit of ₱5,500.00 being made at the end of


every three months to an account that earns 5.6% interest compounded quarterly. Since
the payment interval at the end of every three months (quarterly) is equal to the
compounding interval, quarterly, the situation represents a simple annuity. An example
for general annuity is a payment being made at the end of each month for a loan that
charges 1.05% interest compounded quarterly. Since the payment interval at the end of
the month is not equal to the compounding interval, quarterly, the situation represents
a general annuity.
For ordinary annuity, an example of this is someone’s monthly mortgage
payment that costs ₱35.148.05 at the end of each month. Because the payments are
made at the end of each month, the stream of monthly mortgage payments is an
ordinary annuity. For annuity due, an example for this is a rent for an apartment that

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 17


costs ₱7,000.00 and due at the beginning of each month. Since the payments come at
the beginning of each month, the stream of rental payments is an annuity due.
Since most annuities involve relatively small periodic payment and longer period
of time, they are affordable for the average person. If longer periods of time are involved,
formulas are needed to simplify computations of the future value of annuity.

2.2. Simple Ordinary Annuity


In ordinary annuity, the equal payments are made at the end of each compounding
period starting from the first compounding period.

Figure 2.2. Cash Flow Diagram of Ordinary Annuity (from


mathalino.com)

From the cash flow diagram shown above, the future amount F is the sum of
payments starting from the end of the first period to the end of the nth period. Observe
that the total number of payments is n and the total number of compounding periods is
also n. Thus, in ordinary annuity, the number of payments and the number of
compounding periods are equal.

The future value (F) of an annuity is the total accumulation of the payments and interest
earned.

when these payments are made is called the period of deferment. The first payment is
made one period after the period of deferment. Thus, annuity that is deferred for 6 periods
will have the first payment at the end of 7 periods. Likewise, in an annuity whose first
payment is made at the end of the 7 periods, the annuity is deferred for 6 periods. In the

2.5. General Annuity
A general annuity is an annuity wherein the interest conversion period is
unequal or not the same as the payment interval.
NOMINAL AND EFFECTIVE RATES
In Lesson 1, we learned that the primary difference between simple interest and
compound interest is that compound interest includes interest on the interest earned in
the previous period, while simple interest does not. Here we discuss nominal and effective
interest rates, which have the same basic relationship. The difference here is that the
concepts of nominal and effective must be used when interest is compounded more than
once each year. For example, if an interest rate is expressed as 1% per month, the terms
nominal and effective interest rates must be considered.
There are three cases for this.
Case 1: Compounding and payment periods coincide. This is what we have learned
𝑟
so far. 𝑖 = 𝑘 in this case. However, this is not always the case.

Case 2: Compounding is more frequent than payments. This makes use of the
nominal and effective rate formula which is stated in Equation 2.7.
𝑘2 Equation 2.7
𝑟 𝑘1
𝑖 = (1 + ) − 1
𝑘2
where 𝑘1 is the payment interval and 𝑘2 is the compounding interval with respect to a
year.
What Equation 2.7 does is transforming the nominal interest to effective interest
rate. An effective interest rate 𝑖 is a rate wherein the compounding of interest is taken into
account. Effective rates are commonly expressed on an annual basis as an effective
annual rate; however, any time basis may be used. This is clear in the next example.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 27
Notice that this is a Case 2 situation wherein your compounding (every three
months) is more frequent than the payment period (once a year). The compounding and
payments do not coincide. To do this, we have to get the effective interest rate which will
transform our quarterly nominal interest to effective annual interest.
Given:

Case 3: Compounding is less frequent that payments. This is the usual case in our
banks where we deposit more frequently than it is compounded. Banks usually compound
our money per year. So, if we deposit every 3 months and it is compounded every year,
we have a Case 3 situation happening. This is demonstrated in the next example.

The gradual extinction of a loan over a period of time by means of a sequence of
regular or equal payments as to principal and interest due at the end of equal intervals of
time is known as amortization. When a loan is gradually repaid, the construction of an
amortization schedule is very important for both the lender and the lendee. They will both
see how much of each payment goes to the interest and how much is applied to the
reducing principal.

EXAMPLE 3.1. Regular Payment of Simple Ordinary Annuity


Cristine obtained a loan of ₱50,000.00 for the tuition fee of her son. She has to
repay the loan by equal payments at the end of every six months for 3 years at 10%
interest compounded semi-annually. Find the periodic payment and construct an
amortization schedule.
SOLUTION.
0.1
Given: 𝑃 = ₱50,000.00, 𝑟 = 10%, 𝑘 = 2 , 𝑖 = = 0.05 𝑡 = 3 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠, 𝑛 = 2(3) = 6

Required: A (use Equation 2.2)


(1 + 𝑖)𝑛 − 1
𝑃 = 𝐴[ ]
𝑖(1 + 𝑖)𝑛
𝑖(1 + 𝑖)𝑛
𝐴 = 𝑃[ ]
(1 + 𝑖)𝑛 − 1
0.05(1 + 0.05)6
𝐴 = 50000 [ ]
(1 + 0.05)6 − 1
𝐴 = ₱9,850.87
In this example, we can say that the loan of ₱50,000.00 that is amortized by equal periodic
or installment payments of ₱9,850.87 at equal intervals end of every six months, becomes
the present value of a simple annuity. The amortization schedule is shown in Table 3.1.

The amortization schedule can be prepared as follows (C for Column, R for Row):
1. Calculate the periodic payment. Complete Column B with this periodic payment.
2. To fill up Column C, calculate interest using the formula: 𝑖 = 𝑃𝑟𝑡.

A loan given to customer like Cristine in Example 3.1 for the tuition fee of her son
is an example of a consumer loan; while the loan given to the Traditional Wine
Technologies, Inc. to pay for the business expansion is an example of a business loan.
A consumer loan is a loan given to customers for personal, family, or consumable
items such as a car and home. A business loan is debt that the company is required to
repay according to the loan’s terms and conditions.
A mortgage
Although computation for consumer loans and business loans are similar, they are
different in some aspects like collateral, guarantor, documentation, terms, and follow-up.
Table 3.3 summarizes these differences.
Business Loan Consumer Loan
1. Collateral - real estate, equipment, furniture, - real estate
fixtures, inventory, or personal
assets of the business owners
2. Guarantor - the business owners have to sign - does not require a
the loan as guarantors guarantor
3. Documentation - requires credit report, tax returns, - requires a credit report or
and the last three years of financial tax returns
statements
4. Terms - shorter and includes a higher - longer than the business
interest rate loan
5. Follow-up - annual reviews of the relationship - no further follow-up once
are often conducted the loan is released

The in-depth discussion of these terms will be left to the students majoring on
Accounting and Business Management. For General Mathematics, the discussion of
amortization and how to make one is enough for the current topic.

business, they use their own savings and the company’s profits, or they borrow from any
lending institution, or they sell more shares of its capital stock.
Investors who buy the shares of the corporation from the bank are called
shareholders or stockholders. This is where the company gets its money to grow. A
stockholder gets a stock certificate showing the number of shares it represents. In
Figure 4.1, Mr. Peter Dan Durano owns 100 shares of the Capital Stock of the Traditional
Wine Technologies, Inc. Since the company has 40,000 shares and Mr. Durano owns
100 shares; thus, he owns
100
= 0.0025 = 0.25%
40000
of the Traditional Wine Technologies, Inc. As a part-owner of the corporation, Mr. Durano
is entitled to any profit that the corporation makes.

Figure 4.1. Example of a Stock Certificate (Note: I just made this up. I cannot find a good
example from the internet.)

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 43


When companies decide to raise money by selling stocks, they generally go to a
big investment bank. The bank handles the Initial Public Offering or IPO before it becomes
available on a stock exchange.
Each certificate is registered in the owner’s name of the corporation. Since Mr.
Durano bought a share of stock, he owns a part of the corporation (1/4% of the
corporation). The profit that the corporation gives to Mr. Durano is called dividends.
Dividends are usually paid quarterly. Dividend may also be paid semi-annually or
annually. There are times when no dividends are paid. However, shareholders took the
risk with the company since they know that they only get dividends when the company
makes profit.

The par value of a share of stock is the value printed in the certificate. In the
sample certificate, the par value of a share stock is ₱50.00. The par value of a share
stock may be ₱1.00, ₱10.00, ₱25.00, ₱50.00, or ₱100.00, or any other value that the
corporation may want to set. All the shares of an issue of stock have the same value.
Since Mr. Durano owns 100 shares of stock with par value of ₱50.00 each, his total
investment is ₱5,000.00 (100 times ₱50 = ₱5,000.00).
Note: If the par value of a share of a stock is ₱50.00 each, it means that the bank
got it at a lower price. This is where the bank earns.
Some corporations issue stock without giving the shares any value. This stock is
called no-par stock.
After an issue of stock has been sold the first time, the investors buy and sell the
shares at any price they agree on. Ownership is just changing hands, and nothing goes
to the company. Buying or selling stocks is called trading and takes place on a stock
exchange. The Philippine Stock Exchange Plaza in Ayala Triangle, Ayala Avenue, Makati
City and another one is in Pasig, Metro Manila. The price a stock sold is called the market
price or market value.
The two types of stocks are common stock and preferred stock. A preferred
stock is a stock where the dividend set by the corporation is indicated at the time the
stock was issued. A common stock does not have a set dividend. There is no guarantee
that dividends will be paid to either class of stock. However, dividends that are paid out
go first to shareholders of preferred stock.

Market Price – the price at which a stock on bond is sold.
Preferred Stock – type of stock for which stockholders get first choice in distributed
profits.
Common Stock – the ordinary stock of a corporation, paying no specified rate or amount
of dividend.
Initial Public Offering (IPO) – stock sold before it is available on a stock exchange.

The market price or market value of a share of stock is usually quoted in pesos per
share. A quotation of “35½” means that the price of one share is ₱35.50.
Investors make money with stock by selling stock for more money than they paid
for it. When one buys a stock through a broker (a dealer of stocks, bonds, or real estate),
the total cost of stock is the market price of the stock and the broker’s commission.

(EW)
Use the stock for East West Banking Corp (EW) to answer the following questions.
a. Give the highest and lowest prices for the past 52 weeks.
b. Give the highest and lowest prices for EW shares yesterday.
c. What was the price at which the EW shares traded when the stock exchange closed
on March 9, 2015?
SOLUTION.
a. To find the highest price for the past 52 weeks, look under the heading 52-WEEK
HIGH. The price is given as 31.6 Thus, the highest price for a share of stock for the past
52 weeks was ₱31.60. To find the lowest price for the past 52 weeks, look under the

4.2. Stock Income


DIVIDENDS
The income the stockholder receives from his investment is the amount of dividend
he gets. The amount of dividends paid by the company depends on the profit the company
makes. The dividend may be shown either as a percent of the par value of the stock or
as an amount of money per share. For example, the Traditional Wine Technologies, Inc.
declared a dividend of 1.5% of the par value. Since the par value of the shares is ₱50.00,
the amount of dividend on each share is 1.5% of ₱50.00 or ₱0.75. The Traditional Wine
Technologies, Inc. may declare either a dividend of 1.5% or a dividend of ₱0.75 per share.
Thus, Mr. Durano who owns 100 shares of Traditional Wine Technologies, Inc. will
receive a total dividend of ₱75.00 (₱0.75 x 100 = ₱75.00)

EXAMPLE 4.5.
Ricone owns 75 shares of Netflix common stock, par value ₱400.00. If the
corporation declaration a 7.25% dividend, what is the total dividend that Ricone should
get?
SOLUTION.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 50


Dividend per share: 0.0725 × ₱400 = ₱29 dividend on one share
Total dividend: 75 × ₱29 = ₱2,175.00

EXAMPLE 4.6.
Find the yearly income Aira will receive from an investment in 1000 shares of Apple
stock if a dividend of ₱14.80 per share is paid quarterly.
SOLUTION.
Dividend for one quarter: 1000 × ₱14.80 = ₱14,800
Yearly income: 4 × ₱14,800 = ₱59,200.00
The rate of income on a stock investment is the ratio of the annual dividends to
the total cost of stock.

22.40 × 4
𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 = = 0.0933 𝑜𝑟 9.33%
960

SELLING STOCKS
Another way a shareholder earns an income is to sell his stock. A broker may be
used to buy or sell stocks. The broker’s representatives take charge of the investor’s
order. However, selling a stock will either make a profit, break-even, or take a loss. A
profit, break-even, or loss depends on the total cost of the stock, the selling price of the
stock, and the expenses in selling the stock. Some expenses to be considered are
commission of the broker, small SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) fees, and
sometimes transfer tax. After deducting all the expenses form the market price of the
stock, the money that you will receive is called the net proceeds.

EXAMPLE 4.7.
Find the net proceeds of the stocks on the table below.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 51


Name of Stock Shares Selling Expenses Net
Held Price per (Commission, Proceeds
Share Taxes, and Fees)
Food Corporation 100 ₱1,040.00 ₱2,640.00
Property Holdings 250 ₱500.00 ₱1,720.00
Power Corporation 80 ₱1,480.00 ₱1,880.00
Transportation Corporation 300 ₱320.00 ₱2,240.00
SOLUTION
To calculate for the net proceeds, use
Net Proceeds = Market Price – Expenses
where
Market Price = No. of shares x Selling Price

Power Corporation Net Proceeds = (100 x ₱1040) - ₱2640 = ₱101,360.00


Property Holdings Net Proceeds = (250 x ₱500) - ₱1720 = ₱123,280.00
Food Corporation Net Proceeds = (80 x ₱1480) - ₱1880 = ₱161,520.00
Transportation Corporation Net Proceeds = (300 x ₱320) - ₱2240 = ₱93,760.00

EXAMPLE 4.8.
If you bought 500 shares of East West Banking Corp. stock at the 52-WEEK LOW,
₱23.55 per share, and sold at the 52-WEEK HIGH, ₱31.60 per share
a. how much money did you make on this transaction (ignoring dividends)?
b. find the broker’s commission if the broker charges 2% of the total sale price.
SOLUTION
a. Calculate the difference between low price per share and the high price per share.
₱31.60 − ₱23.55 = ₱8.05
Thus, you made ₱8.05 per share. For 500 shares you made, ₱8.05 x 500 or ₱4,025.00.
b. Because you are selling the stock at ₱31.60 x 500 or ₱15,800.00 and the broker
charges 2% of the total sale price; thus,
₱15,800 × 0.02 = ₱316
The broker received ₱316.00 as his commission.

Consider the following when you want to invest on stocks:

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 52


1. Be a smart investor. Only buy shares of stocks of companies who are earning big
money consistently. The efficient market theory and the stock index will guide you on
this aspect.
The efficient market theory states that the stock market reacts very fast to any
information and at any given period, the market contains the total views of all the investors
in the market. Thus, the proponents of the theory believe that the current price of a stock
is the accurate reflection of the investors’ knowledge about the stock.
A stock index or stock market index is the same measure of value of a section
of the stock market and is computed from the price of selected stocks. Investors and
financial managers use this to describe the market and compare the return on specific
investment. The daily result of stock indexes are the most popular numbers cited in the
investing world.
2. Decide whether you will need a full-service broker, a discount broker, or online
brokerage. In online brokerage, you are allowed to trade stocks directly without a broker.
Opening an online trading account is very similar to opening a normal savings account.

4.3. Bonds
A bond is a form of long-term investment issued by a corporation or government
where the purchaser becomes a creditor of the company. People who buy a bond are
lending money to the corporation from which they buy the bond. Hence, a bond is very
much like a loan. When a corporation is selling a bond, it is really selling an IOU, which
is a promise to payback the buyer his money, plus interest at a particular time.
There are several reasons for issuing bonds. For example, if the Traditional Wine
Technologies, Inc. (TWTI) wants to borrow ₱50,000,000.00 for 5 years for the expansion
of their business. So, it issues 50,000 5-year bonds with a face value of ₱1,000.00 each.
The entire issue is often sold to an investment banking house, the bank then sells the
bonds to investors at a slight increase in price over what it paid for them. In this case, the
banking house may buy then for TWTI at ₱995.00 each and then sell them at ₱1,000.00
each to the investors.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 53


The bonds that are issued are the corporation’s written promise to return the price
an investor pays for the bond at the time it was purchased, called the face value, together
with interest payments at a given rate.
In Figure 4.2, Mr. Brian Salise, the bond holder, lent TWTI one thousand pesos
(₱1,000.00) with interest rate of 10% per annum. Hence, on March 1, 2026, TWTI must
pay Mr. Salise whether it made profit or not. If the loan is not repaid, the bond holders
may take the corporation’s equipment, buildings, or land. This guarantee is an agreement
between the corporation and a bank or trust company, called the trustee. The trustee is
appointed by the corporation to represent the bond holders as a group in their transactions
with the corporation.
The following should be considered when buying bonds.
1. The price of the bond

Figure 4.2. Example of a Bond Certificate (Again, I just made this up.)

2. The interest rate


3. Whether the bonds can or cannot be resold

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 54


4. The earnings record of the issuer
5. The credit history of the issuer
6. The business condition
Note: Riskier businesses offer higher rates of interest to convince investors to buy their
bonds. There are ratings for bonds which are based on a company’s past performance
and whether analysts predict the company will do well or poorly. Bonds are rated as: Aaa
or AAA for the best and safest bonds. Bbb or BBB for riskier bonds. Ccc or CCC for very
risky bonds. Bonds rated D are considered worthless.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Bond – a form of long-term promissory note issued by a corporation or government in
exchange for a sum of money.
Bond holder – one who holds a corporation or government bond.

Bonds have two kinds of values: par value and market value. The par value of
the bond is the same as its face value. This is the amount printed on the face of the bond
which the borrower promises to pay the bond holder on the due date. In the given
corporation bond, showing the bond holder Mr. Brian Salise, the par value is ₱1,000.00.
The market value of a bond is the price at which the bond is being sold. It may be greater
than or less than the amount of the par value. If the market value is greater than the par
value, then the bond is selling at a discount.
The market price of a bond is computed by multiplying the par value by the percent
of the par value. Note that “95” means 95% of the par value of the bond. For example, if
the banking house offers TWTI bonds at 98, the price of one of the corporation’s
₱1,000.00 bonds is 98% of ₱1,000.00 or ₱980.00. However, if the quoted price of a bond
is 105, the price of a ₱1,000.00 would be 105% of ₱1,000.00 or ₱1,050.00.

EXAMPLE 4.9.
Find the market price of one ₱1,000.00 bond at each quoted price.
a. 98 b. 96 c. 102 d. 101¾ e. 99½ f. 106¼

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 55


SOLUTION
a. at 98: 0.98 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱980.00
b. at 96: 0.96 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱960.00
c. at 102: 1.02 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱1,020.00
d. at 101¾ 1.0175 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱1,017.50
e. 99½ 0.995 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱995.00
f. 106¼ 1.0625 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱1,062.50
Note: The bonds in a, b, and e are selling at discounts and the bonds in c, d, and f are
selling at premiums.
To find the total investment in bonds, you need to know the market price if one
bond and multiply the number of bonds bought.

EXAMPLE 4.10.
Ms. Haziel Hulguin bought fifty ₱1,000.00 TWTI bonds at 103. What is her total
investment in TWTI bonds?
SOLUTION.
Market Price of 1 bond: 1.03 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱1030.00
Total investment: 50 × ₱1,030.00 = ₱51,500.00

When bonds are bought and sold through a broker, the broker charges a broker’s
commission or brokerage fee. Hence, the amount of investment becomes the market
price of the bonds plus the broker’s commission.

EXAMPLE 4.11.
Kezia Garcia bought five ₱1000.00 MacQue Outback Corporation bonds at 92 plus
₱10.00 commission per bond through a broker. What is Kezia’s amount of investment?

SOLUTION.
Market Price of 1 bond: 0.92 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱920.00
Market Price of 5 bond: 5 × ₱920.00 = ₱4,600.00
Commission on 5 bonds: 5 × ₱10.00 = ₱50.00

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 56


Total investment: ₱4,600.00 × ₱50.00 = ₱4,650.00

Bond Income
The interest given by the corporation as a government unit who issued the bond
serves the income from the bond. The interest of the bond is based on the par value.
Because the par value serves as the principal, the interest formula can be calculated as:
Interest = Par value x Rate x Time
The interest for five years on a ₱1000.00 par value, 10% bond would be ̈́₱500.00.
If the interest is paid semiannually, the amount of each interest for the said bond is
500⁄(2)(5) or ₱50 semiannual interest.

EXAMPLE 4.12.
Ms. Sabio owns 45 bonds with a par value of ₱1000.00 each and pays 8½%
interest. What annual income does Ms. Sabio get from these bonds?
SOLUTION.
Par value of 45 bond: 45 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱45,000.00
Interest: ₱45,000.00 × 0.085 × 1 = ₱3,825.00
The annual income is ₱3,825.00
Before buying bonds, it is important to know what rate of income you will receive
from them. Hence, this will help you compare bonds with other types of investments.
The rate of income is the ratio of the annual income to the total investment. This is
often called yield.

EXAMPLE 4.13.
Find the yield on ₱1000.00, 9% TWTI bond priced at 94 plus ₱10 commission.

SOLUTION.
Annual income: ₱1,000.00 × 0.09 × 1 = ₱90.00
Amount invested: Market price + commission
0.94 × ₱1,000.00 + ₱10 = ₱950.00

Logic is defined as “the science of correct reasoning.” Aristotle (384 – 322 B.C.) is
one of the earliest logicians and one of the most renowned. He was the student of Plato
and the tutor of Alexander the Great. His logic was used to distinguish valid arguments
from invalid arguments. In this lesson, we will apply the key concepts of propositional
logic, syllogisms, and fallacies in real-life arguments.

5.1. Propositions
Before we dive right into the lesson, we must review our English lesson about
sentences a bit.
Kinds of Sentences

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 60


1. Simple sentence is a sentence that has one independent clause.
2. Compound sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses
joined by conjunctions (for, nor, but, or, yet, so), semicolons, or semicolon followed by a
conjunctive adverb.
3. Complex sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause and one or
more dependent clauses.
4. Compound-complex sentence is a compound sentence with one or more
independent clauses.
According to the purpose of the speaker or writer, sentences are classified as
follows:
1. Declarative sentence is used to make statement of fact, wish, intent, or feeling.
Example: I wish my students would do well this quarter.
2. Imperative sentence is used to state a command, request, or direction.
Example: Please do not copy your poem on the Internet.
3. Interrogative sentence is used to ask a question.
Example: Did you create your own poem?
4. Exclamatory sentence is used to express strong feelings.
Example: The teacher shouted, “Don’t copy the questions and choices!”
A proposition is a declarative sentence that can be classified as true or false, but
not both
EXAMPLE 5.1.
Decide whether each of the following is a proposition or is not a proposition.
a. The number 4 is even and less than 12.
b. Cagayan de Oro is the capital of Misamis Oriental.
c. How old are you?
d. Open your eyes.
e. John’s solution is incorrect.
SOLUTION.
Sentences a and b are propositions. The truth or falsity of each can be determined
by a direct check. However, sentences c, d, and e cannot be answered as being true or
false. Sentence c is a question, sentence d is a command, and sentence e is a paradox.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 61


There are other types of sentences where true or false values cannot be assigned.
The sentence e is one example. If we assume that it is true, then it is false; if we assume
that it is false, then it is true. Thus, the sentence cannot be classified as either true or
false, so it is not a proposition. A self-contradictory proposition like sentence e is called a
paradox.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Simple proposition – a proposition that conveys one thought with no connecting words.
Compound proposition – contains two or more simple propositions that are put together
using connective words.
The proposition “Danica is passing in Mathematics” is a simple proposition.
However, “Danica is passing in Mathematics, but she is failing in Social Science” is a
compound proposition. It is a compound proposition because it is a combination of two
simple propositions “Danica is passing in Mathematics” and “She is failing in Social
Science.”
There are several ways in which simple propositions can be combined to form
compound propositions. Different combinations of compound propositions can be formed
by using logical connectives or simply, connectives. Words such as and, or, not, and
if…then are examples of connectives.
If the proposition is compound, then it must be one of the following: conjunction,
disjunction, conditional, biconditional, or negation.
1. Conjunction – Two simple propositions connected using the word and.
Example: “Today is Friday and tomorrow is Saturday.”
Sometimes, the word but will be used in place of and in each sentence.
2. Disjunction – Two simple propositions connected using the word or.
Example: “I will pass the General Mathematics subject, or I will be promoted.”
3. Conditional – Two simple propositions connected using the words if…then.
Example: “If you make an original poem with rhyming words at the end of each
line then you will get 100 points in your final requirement.”
The statement between the if and then is called the antecedent of the conditional.
The sentence that follows then is called the consequent.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 62


The example can also be written as:
a. If you make an original poem with rhyming words at the end of each line, you
will get 100 points in your final requirement.
b. You will get 100 points in your final requirement if you make an original poem
with rhyming words at the end of each line.
In (a), then was omitted but it is understood to be there.
In (b), the two parts are switched around and then was also omitted.
Nonetheless, both (a) and (b) are conditionals.
4. Biconditional – Conjunction of two conditional statements where the antecedent and
consequent of the first statement have been switched in the second statement.
Example: “If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angle opposite them
are congruent, and if two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them
are congruent.”
The sentence above is usually stated as “Two sides of a triangle are congruent if
and only if two angles opposite them are congruent.” The abbreviation for if and only if is
iff.
5. Negation – The negation of a given statement is a statement that is false whenever
the given statement is true, and true whenever the given statement is false.
The negation can be obtained by inserting the word not in the given statement or
by prefixing it with phrases such as “It is not the case that…”
The negation of the statement “Sandy is good” can be written as:
“Sandy is not good.” or “It is not the case that Sandy is good.”

EXAMPLE 5.2.
Classify each proposition as simple or compound. Classify each compound proposition
as a negation, conjunction, disjunction, conditional, or biconditional.
a. My friend took his master’s degree in UP Diliman.
b. Roses are red, but violets are blue.
c. You are entitled to a 30% discount if you are a member.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 63


d. Peter was on time, but Khaillah was late for the mass.
e. Either he watches a movie or dines with his friends.
f. If the angle is less than 90°, then it is an acute angle.
SOLUTION.
a. simple d. compound; conjunction
b. compound; conjunction e. compound; disjunction
c. compound; conditional f. compound; conditional

5.2. Symbols
Symbols are used to simplify work in logic. If x and y are the frequently used letters
in algebra, the letters p, q, or r are often used to represent propositions in logic. The table
below shows the several symbols for connectives, together with the respective types of
compound proposition.
Connective Symbol Type of Statement
and ˄ conjunction
or ˅ disjunction
not ~ negation
if…then → conditional
if and only if (iff) ↔ biconditional

EXAMPLE 5.3.
Let p represent the proposition “He has a green thumb” and
q represent the proposition “He is a senior citizen.”
Convert each compound proposition into symbols.
a. He has green thumb, and he is a senior citizen.
b. He does not have green thumb, or he is not a senior citizen.
c. It is not the case that he has green thumb, or he is a senior citizen.
d. If he has green thumb, then he is not a senior citizen.
SOLUTION.

He has green thumb. It is not the case

a. p˄q c. ~ (p ˅ q)

and He is a senior citizen.


or He is a senior citizen
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 64
He has green thumb

He does not have green thumb. If he has green thumb.

b. ~p ˅ ~q d. p → ~q

or He is not a senior citizen. then He is not a senior citizen.

EXAMPLE 5.4.
Let p represent “Naomi can swim” and let q be “Herbert plays the guitar.” Write
each symbolic statement is word.
a. p ˅ q b. p ˄ ~q c. ~ (p ˅ q) d. ~ (p ˄ q)
SOLUTION.
a. Naomi can swim, or Herbert plays the guitar.
b. Naomi can swim, and Herbert cannot play the guitar.
c. It is not the case that Naomi can swim, or Herbert can play the guitar.
d. It is not the case that Naomi can swim, and Herbert can play the guitar.
~ (p ˅ q) means the negation of the entire statement p ˅ q. In ~p ˅ q, only
statement p is negated.
Negation of the Disjunction p or q
~ (p ˅ q) means ~p ˄ ~q. Thus, another solution to part c of Example 5.4 is “Naomi
cannot swim, and Herbert cannot play the guitar.”
Negation of the Conjunction p and q
~ (p ˄ q) means ~p ˅ ~q. Thus, another solution to part d of Example 5.4 is “Naomi
cannot swim, or Herbert cannot play the guitar.”
EXAMPLE 5.5.
Write the following in symbolic form:
a. “Kaye is a working student (w) or under 25 years old (u), and lives in Tagoloan (l).”
b. “Kaye is a working student (w), or under 25 years old (u) and lives in Tagoloan (l).”
SOLUTION.
The use of commas indicates which simple statements are grouped together.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 65


a. (w ˅ u) ˄ l b. w ˅ (u ˄ l)

EXAMPLE 5.6.
Identify each proposition as a conjunction, disjunction, negation, conditional, or
biconditional.
a. James is absent or Jimni is absent, and it is submission day.
b. Either Jay passed the test, or Lou passed the test and Jingky failed.
c. It is false that if I go on vacation, then I have received my 13th month pay.
d. If my brother pays the rental and I pay the electricity, then my father pays the tuition
fees.
SOLUTION.
a. As the comma indicates, the proposition is a conjunction.
b. The proposition is a disjunction as the comma indicates.
c. The phrase “It is false” identifies the statement as negation even though it contains
conditional. In the statement, the phrase “It is false that” negates everything that follows.
d. The proposition is a conditional statement because of the word if.

Parentheses in symbolic statements are used to tell what type of statements are
being considered. If there are no parentheses, we follow the dominance of connectives.
The list below gives the connectives in their dominant order (from the strongest to the
weakest).
Biconditional > Conditional > Disjunction, Conjunction > Negation
The conjunction and disjunction are of equal value.

EXAMPLE 5.7.
Identify each symbolic statement as a conjunction, disjunction, negation, conditional, or
biconditional.
a. P ˅ Q ↔ R c. ~ (P ˅ Q) e. ~ (P → Q ˄ R)
b. (P ˄ Q) ˅ R d. ~P ˄ Q → R ˅ S f. P ˄ (Q → R)
SOLUTION.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 66


a. Biconditional: The double arrow is the dominant connective and there are no
parentheses.
b. Disjunction: The parentheses separate the statement at the “˅” connective.
c. Negation: The statement is inside the parentheses.
d. Condition: There are no parentheses. Thus, the conditional arrow is stronger than any
of the other connectives. The antecedent is ~P ˄ Q and the consequent is R ˅ S.
e. Negation: The negative sign is outside the parentheses and the conditional arrow is
inside the parenthesis.
f. Conjunction: The parentheses separate the statement at the “˄” connective.

b. Some students will not be given the second chance; or Not all students will not be given
the second chance.
c. Some students in uniform can enter the Internet café.
c. No participants are more active than the organizers.

5.3. Truth Tables


A teacher promised his student, “If you pass the final examination and submit all
the requirements, then you may join the graduation.” The student passes only the final
exam, but the teacher allows the student to join the graduation. Has the teacher broken
his original promise? I’ll leave this here for you to return to later.
In logic, we use variables to represent propositions in the same way that we use
variables to represent numbers in algebra. While a variable in algebra can take any value,
a variable in logic has only True or False for its value. In fact, True and False are the
“numerical constants” of logic.
Conjunctions
The connective and implies the idea of “both”. For the conjunction p ˄ q to be true,
both p and q must be true. All the four possible combinations of truth values for the
conjunction p and q are summarized by a table called a truth table.
Table 5.1. Truth Table for the Conjunction P and Q (P ˄ Q)
P Q P˄Q Table 5.1 answers the question, “When is a
T T T
T F F conjunction true?” For the conjunction to be true,
F T F both P and Q must be true.
F F F
EXAMPLE 5.9.
Let p represent “7 > 5” and let q represent “12 < 0.” Find the truth value of p and q.
SOLUTION. P Q P˄Q
The statement 7 > 5 is true. Hence, p is true. T T T
T F F
The statement 12 < 0 is true. Hence, q is false. F T F
The second row of the conjunction truth table shows that p F F F

˄ q is false.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 68


Disjunctions
If China says that she has been reading or writing, then she is telling the truth if
she has been reading and not writing. Likewise, she is telling the truth when she has been
writing and not reading. Also, she is telling the truth when she has been reading and also
writing. Table 5.2 shows the truth table for disjunction. The use of or in this case is called
the inclusive or (inclusive disjunction).

Table 5.2. Truth Table for the Inclusive Disjunction P or Q (P ˅ Q)


P Q P˅Q
T T T
T F T
F T T
F F F

EXAMPLE 5.10.
Let p be “I will clean the kitchen.” and q be “I will clean the bathroom.”
Form the inclusive disjunction of p and q and discuss its truth values.

SOLUTION.
The statement, “I will clean the kitchen, or I will clean the bathroom” is the required
disjunction. It will be false only if both components are false and will be true otherwise
(see Table 5.2).

EXAMPLE 5.11.
Let p be “I will pass the math quiz.” and q be “I will flunk the math quiz.”
Form the disjunction of p and q and discuss its truth values.
SOLUTION.
“I will pass the math quiz, or I will flunk it” is the desired disjunction. The statement will
only be true when exactly one of the two components is true. Otherwise, it will be false.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 69


When this is the case, we shall refer to the or used as the exclusive or or the exclusive
disjunction. Its truth table is given in Table 5.3.

Exclusive or
One or the other, not both. Unless otherwise meant or stated, a disjunction is
considered inclusive by default.

Negation
If P is a simple proposition, then P is either true or false but not both. That is, if P
is a true statement, then its truth value is true and if P is false, then its truth value is false.
If we negate P and P is true, then ~P must be false, and if P is false, then ~P must
be true. This type of analysis is shown in Table 5.4.

table containing compound statement.

Constructing Truth Tables


1. Determine if the final result is a conjunction, disjunction, or negation. Recall dominant
connectives and the use of parentheses.
2. Complete the columns under a) the simple statements (P, Q, …)

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 71


b) the connectives negations inside parentheses
c) any remaining statements and their negations
d) any remaining connectives
reaching the final column determined in Step 1.
Number the columns in the order they are completed and highlight the column containing
the final answer.
3. The truth table of compound proposition of n component statements, each represented
by a different letter, has 2n number of rows. For example,
A compound proposition with two different letters (simple statements) has 2 2 or 4 rows.
A compound proposition with three different letters (simple statements) has 23 or 8 rows.

d. “Arc is a senior high school student or over 16 years old” false?
e. “Arc is neither a senior high school student nor over 16 years old” true?

SOLUTION.
a. The statement can be symbolized by P ˄ Q. From Table 5.1, we saw that P ˄ Q is true
only when both P and Q are true.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 73


b. In symbol, we have P ˄ Q. Using Table 5.1, this can be false under the following

a. If 3 + 3 = 9, then 33 = 6. c. If 5 is a whole number, then 7 is a real number
b. If 3 + 3 = 6, then 12 = 7.
SOLUTION.
a. Let P represent “3 + 3 = 9,” and Q represent “33 = 6.” Since 3 + 3 = 9 is false and
33 = 6 is false, then P→Q is true.
b. Let P represent “3 + 3 = 6,” and Q represent “12 = 7.” Since 3 + 3 = 6 is true and
12 = 7 is false, then P→Q is false.
c. Let P represent “5 is a whole number,” and Q represent “7 is a real number.” Since
“5 is a whole number” is true and “7 is a real number” is true, then P→Q is true.

a. If 4 + 4 = 8, then x – 4 = 7. c. If x + 4 = 10, then 5 + 4 = 9.
b. If 4 + 4 = 44, then x – 4 = 7. d. If x + 4 = 10, then 5 + 4 = 20.

SOLUTION.
a. Let P and Q represent the antecedent and consequent for each statement. The
conditional statement P→Q where P is true (4 + 4 = 8) is only true when Q is also
true. Thus, x must be 11 for the sentence to be true.
b. The conditional statement P→Q, where P is false (4 + 4 ≠ 44), is true whenever Q
is either true or false. Thus, x can be any value for P→Q to be true.
c. The conditional statement P→Q, where Q is true (5 + 4 = 9), is true whenever P is
either true or false. Thus, x can be any value for P→Q to be true.
d. The conditional statement P→Q, where Q is false (5 + 4 ≠ 20), can be true
whenever P is false. Thus, x must not be equal to 6 for P→Q to be true.

Biconditional
P↔Q is true when and only when P and Q have the same truth value.

6.1. Conditional Statements
A conditional statement has two parts: a hypothesis (or antecedent), denoted by
P, and a conclusion (or consequent), denoted by Q. In symbols, the statement, “If P,
then Q” is written as P→Q. Here is another example”
If it is 9:30 a.m., then it must be daytime.
P Q
A conditional statement may be true or false. To show that a conditional statement
is false, you only need to find one example (called a counter example) in which the
hypothesis is fulfilled, and the conclusion is not fulfilled.
To show that a conditional statement is true, you must construct a logical argument
using reasons.
The converse of the condition statement P→Q is Q→P.
If a conditional statement and its converse are both true, you can combine them to
form one biconditional statement or a biconditional. The parts of a biconditional
statement are connected by the phrase if and only if.
Conditional Statement: If P, then Q. P→Q
Converse: If Q, then P. Q→P
Biconditional: P if and only if Q. P↔Q
The other statements related to a conditional are its inverse and its
contrapositive.
Conditional Statement: If P, then Q. P→Q
Inverse: If not P, then not Q. ~P → ~Q
Contrapositive: If not Q, then not P. ~Q ↔ ~P

EXAMPLE 6.1.
Write the inverse, converse, and contrapositive of the statement below. Then, tell whether
each is true or false.
“If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.”
SOLUTION.
Identify the hypothesis and conclusion.
Hypothesis: Two angles form a linear pair.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 82


Conclusion: They are supplementary.
Inverse: If two angles do not form a linear pair, then they are not supplementary. (False)
Converse: If two angles are supplementary, then they form a linear pair. (False)
Contrapositive: If two angles are not supplementary, then they do not form a linear pair.
(True)
If studying every day is sufficient for getting high grade, is getting high grade
necessary for studying every day? Think about it.

EXAMPLE 6.2.
Write in words the (a) converse, (b) inverse, and (c) contrapositive of the statement, “If n
is an even number, then n + 1 is an odd number.”
SOLUTION.
The given statement is of the form P→Q, where P is “n is an even number” and Q
is “n + 1 is and odd number.”
a. Converse: Q→P, which translates into “if n + 1 is an odd number, then n is an even
number.”
b. Inverse: ~P→~Q, which translates into “if n is not an even number, then n + 1 is not an
odd number.”
c. Contrapositive: ~Q→~P, translate into “if n + 1 is not an odd number, then n is not an
even number.”

TRY. Write the contrapositive of “If you cannot pass the final exam (f), you cannot pass
the subject (s).”

Conditional Equivalents
The following are other interpretations of P→Q.
• If P, then Q • P implies Q • P is sufficient for Q
• If P, Q • Q whenever P • Q is necessary for P
• Q if P • P only if Q • Q is implied by P

EXAMPLE 6.3.
Let P = It is a math subject and Q = It is logical. Express each statement in symbolic form.
a. If it is a math subject, then it is logical.
b. If it is not logical, then it is not a math subject.
c. It is logical if it is a math subject.
d. Being a math subject is sufficient for being logical.
e. It is not a math subject if it is not logical.

Notice that: Converse and Inverse are equivalent.


Conditional and Contrapositive are equivalent.
Equivalent
Two propositions P and Q that have the same truth values are said to be logically
equivalent and denoted by P ↔ Q or P ≡ Q.

EXAMPLE 6.4.
Show that the two given compound propositions are equivalent.
a. ~ (P ˅ Q) and ~P ˄ ~Q
b. ~ (P ˄ Q) and ~P ˅ ~Q
SOLUTION.
a. Prepare truth table for each statement.

F F F T

For ~P ˄ ~Q:
P Q ~P ~Q ~P ˄ ~Q
T T F F F
T F F T F

Because ~ (P ˅ Q) and ~P ˄ ~Q have exactly the same truth values, FFFT, then
they are equivalent.

Because ~ (P ˄ Q) and ~P ˅ ~Q have exactly the same truth values, FTTT, then
they are equivalent. These examples exhibit De Morgan’s Law.

De Morgan’s Law
• ~ (P ˄ Q) ≡ ~P ˅ ~Q
• ~ (P ˅ Q) ≡ ~P ˄ ~Q

EXAMPLE 6.5.
Write a statement equivalent to:
“It is not true that Louie is a mathematician or comedian.”
SOLUTION.
Let P and Q represent the following simple statements:
P: Louie is a mathematician.
Q: Louie is a comedian.
The given statement in symbols is ~ (P ˅ Q). An equivalent statement is ~P ˄ ~Q. This
can be translated as:
Louie is not a mathematician and Louie is not a comedian.
Or
Louie is neither a mathematician nor a comedian.

EXAMPLE 6.6.
Write the negation of each statement.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 86


a. P ˅ ~Q
b. I’m going to Baguio and Bohol.
SOLUTION.
a. Using De Morgan’s Law, we can negate this disjunction by negating each component
statement and changing ˅ to ˄.
Conjunction: P ˅ ~Q
Negation: ~ (P ˅ ~Q)
~P ˄ ~ (~Q)
~P ˄ Q
b. Using De Morgan’s Law, we can write the negation in English without having to
translate into symbolic form. To negate this conjunction, negate each component
statement and change and to or.
Conjunction: I’m going to Baguio and I’m going to Bohol.
Negation: I’m not going to Baguio or I’m not going to Bohol.

EXAMPLE 6.7.
Write a statement that is equivalent to:
“If Francis fails, he will take summer class and cannot travel.”
SOLUTION.
Write the conditional statement in symbolic form.
Let P: Francis fails.
Q: Francis will take summer class.
R: Francis can travel.
If Francis fails, he will take summer class and cannot travel.
P → (Q ˄ ~R)
An equivalent statement is the contrapositive
~ (Q ˄ ~R) → ~P.
[~Q ˅ ~(~R)] → ~P De Morgan’s Law for Negation of a Conjunction.
(~Q ˅ R) → ~P Simplify.
Thus,
P → (Q ˄ ~R) ≡ (~Q ˅ R) → ~P.

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 87


The statement that is equivalent to:
“If Francis fails, he will take summer class and cannot travel.”
Is
“If Francis will not take summer class or can travel, then he will not fail.”

EXAMPLE 6.8.
Select the statement that is not equivalent to: “If it’s sunny, then I need an umbrella.”
a. It is not sunny, or I need an umbrella.
b. I need an umbrella, or it is not sunny.
c. If I need an umbrella, then it is sunny.
d. If I do not need an umbrella, then it is not sunny.
SOLUTION.
Write the given statement and the choices in symbolic form. The statement, “If it’s sunny,
then I need an umbrella,” can be represented as follows:
P: It is sunny.
Q: I need an umbrella.
The symbolic representations of the given statement and the choices are:
If it’s sunny, then I need an umbrella. P→Q
a. It is not sunny, or I need an umbrella. ~P ˅ Q
b. I need an umbrella, or it is not sunny. Q ˅ ~P
c. If I need an umbrella, then it is sunny. Q→P
d. If I do not need an umbrella, then it is not sunny. ~Q → ~P
Construct a truth table that contains the truth values for P → Q, as well as those for the
four choices.
Given (a) (b) (c) (d)
P Q P→Q ~P ~P ˅ Q Q ˅ ~P Q→P ~Q ~Q → ~P
T T T F T T T F T
T F F F F F T T F
F T T T T T F F T
F F T T T T T T T

The statement in (c) does not have the same corresponding truth values as in the
given statement P → Q. Therefore, this statement is not equivalent to the given statement.
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 88
The Negation of a Conditional Statement
The negation of P → Q is P ˄ ~Q. This can be expressed as
~ (P → Q) ≡ P ˄ ~Q
The following truth table shows that P ˄ ~Q negates P → Q.
P Q P→Q ~Q P ˄ ~Q
T T T F F
T F F T T
F T T F F
F F T T F
The shaded columns have opposite truth values; thus P ˄ ~Q negates P → Q.
Note: To form the negation of a conditional statement,
1. leave the antecedent unchanged;
2. change the if-then connective to and; and
3. negate the consequent.

EXAMPLE 6.9.
Write the negation of the following:
a. If the music is playing, then I cannot concentrate.
b. ~A → ~B
SOLUTION.
a.
Given statement: If the music is playing, then I cannot concentrate.
Negation: The music is playing and I can concentrate.
The negation of the given statement is
The music is playing, and I can concentrate.
b. Given statement: ~A → ~B
Negation: ~A ˄ B

2. The negation of a conjunction: ~ (P ˄ Q) ≡ ~P ˅ ~Q
3. The negation of a disjunction: ~ (P ˅ Q) ≡ ~P ˄ ~Q

6.2. Tautology
A compound statement which is true for any combination of truth values of the
variables in the statement is called a tautology. A statement that is always false is called
a contradiction.

EXAMPLE 6.9.
Construct the truth table for each of the following and show that the compound statement
is a tautology.
a. (P → Q) ↔ (~Q → ~P) c. [P ˅ (~P)] ˄ [Q ˅ (~Q)]

Since the entries under the dominant connective are all true, then the statement
[P ˅ (~P)] ˄ [Q ˅ (~Q)] is a tautology.

EXAMPLE 6.10.
Construct a truth table for (P ˄ Q) → R and determine whether the statement is a
tautology.
SOLUTION.
For compound statement consisting of three simple statements, there are 2 3 or 8
different true-false combinations. The dominant connective is →.
P Q R P˄Q (P ˄ Q) → R
T T T T T
T T F T F
T F T F T
T F F F T
F T T F T
F T F F T
F F T F T
F F F F T
The truth values in the final column are not all Ts. Thus, (P ˄ Q) → R is not true
in all possible cases; hence, the statement is not a tautology.
Note:
• Another way of saying that this statement is not a tautology is that this conditional
statement is not an implication.
• The final column tells us that the statement is false when both P and Q are true
and R is false. For example, your teacher says,
If you buy the book and read it daily, then you will pass the examination.
Use the following representations:
P: You buy the book.
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 92
Q: You read it daily.
R: You will pass the examination.
The teacher’s claim can be expressed symbolically as (P ˄ Q) → R.
The student buys the book (P is true), reads it daily (Q is true), but the student fails
in the examination (R is false). This corresponds to the second row in the truth table for
(P ˄ Q) → R. The teacher’s claim is false.
6.3. Valid Argument and Fallacy
In the conditional statement (EXAMPLE 6.10),
If you buy the book and read it daily, then you will pass the examination.
The teacher’s claim is not true because (P ˄ Q) → R is not a tautology, hence, making
his argument not valid.
An argument is made up of two parts: the given statements called the premises
and a conclusion. It is valid if the conclusion is true whenever the premises are
assumed to be true. If it is not valid, it is said to be an invalid argument or a fallacy.
Here is an example of an argument:
Premise 1: If one loves Algebra, then he loves Mathematics.
Premise 2: Mike loves Algebra.
Conclusion: Therefore, Mike loves Mathematics.
Representing each simple statement with a letter:
P: One loves Algebra.
Q: One loves Mathematics.
Writing the two premises and the conclusion in symbolic form, we have:
Premise 1: P→Q If one loves Algebra, then he loves Mathematics.
Premise 2: P Mike loves Algebra.
Conclusion: ∴Q Therefore, Mike loves Mathematics.
To check whether the argument is valid or a fallacy, we rewrite it as a conditional
statement in the form
[(P → Q) ˄ P] → Q
If premise 1 and 2 then conclusion
and construct a truth table for the statement
[(P → Q) ˄ P] → Q

ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 93


P Q P → Q (P → Q) ˄ P [(P → Q) ˄ P] → Q
T T T F F
T F F T T
F T T F F
F F T T F
    
Since the final column in the truth table is true in every case, then the statement is
a tautology. Since the conclusion is true whenever the premises are true (first case), then
the argument is valid.
Note: If the conditional statement in the final column is false in the first case, then the
argument is invalid or is a fallacy. And the statement is no longer a tautology. Note that it
is not a contradiction either.

EXAMPLE 6.11.
Use truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is a
tautology and whether it is valid or a fallacy.
a. P→Q c. (P ˄ Q) ˄ (Q ˄ P)
~P P
∴ ~Q ∴ P˅Q
b. ~P → Q

SOLUTION.
a. The symbolic statement is [(P → Q) ˄ ~P] → ~Q.

F F T T T T T
The entries in the final column of the truth table are not all true, so the argument is
not a tautology. And since the conclusion in row 3 is false while the premises are true,
then the argument is a fallacy.

b. The symbolic statement is [(~P → Q) ˄ ~Q] → P.


The truth table:
P Q ~P ~P → Q ~Q ~ (P → Q) ˄ ~Q [(~P → Q) ˄ ~Q] → P
T T F T F F T
T F F T T T T
F T T T F F T
F F T F T F T
The entries in the final column of the truth table are all true, so the argument is a
tautology and valid as well.

c. The symbolic statement is [(P ˄ Q) ˄ (Q ˄ P) ˄ P] → (P ˅ Q).


The truth table:
P Q P˄Q Q˄P (P˄Q)˄(Q˄P) [(P˄Q)˄(Q˄P)]˄P (P˅Q) {[(P˄Q)˄(Q˄P)]˄P}→(P˅Q)
T T T T T T T T
T F F F F F T T
F T F F F F T T
F F F F F F F T
The entries in the final column of the truth table are all true, so the argument is a
tautology and valid as well.
Table 6.5 gives the standard forms of commonly used valid and invalid arguments.
Hence, if after an English argument is translated into one of these forms, you can
immediately determine whether or not it is valid one without using a truth table.

EXAMPLE 6.13.
Draw a valid conclusion from the following premises:
If everyone tells the truth, then there is no miscommunication.
There is some miscommunication.
SOLUTION.
Let P: Everyone tells the truth.
Q: There is no miscommunication.
Symbolically, the form of the premises is
P→Q If everyone tells the truth, then there is no miscommunication.
~Q There is some miscommunication (negation of “no” is “some”).
∴ ?_
To be valid, the conclusion is ~P because of the contrapositive reasoning. The ~P
translates as
“Not everyone tells the truth.” Or
“Some people do not tell the truth.”
