gives you present value D of a series of

Comparison with Sinking fund formula

Sinking Fund formula gives the future value at the

Effective Rate of Interest
Definition
The effective rate of interest re is the
rate of interest compounded annually
that has the same effect as the nominal
ie stated or named interest rate
e.g r compounded monthly
Example 1
Peter has borrowed R5000 from his bank. Bank charges
Peter interest at the rate 12.5% per annum compounded
monthly. What is the effective interest rate being charged
by the bank?

Note You advised not to memorise


are the formula in the
textbook as it is not best to use for all examples
such as Example 2
Example 2
Bank A charges interest at the rate 14% per annum
compounded monthly. Bank B charges 13% compounded
daily. Which bank offers the better deal?

You could calculate the effective interest rate for both


banks and compare them That's two calculations Or
you could just calculate the equivalent monthly rate re
charged by Bank B and compare that with Bank A

If the interest rates are equivalent then the future values
must be the same we must accumulate the same

Bank B offers a better deal Its equivalent monthly rate


is less than the monthly rate changed by Bank A
Example 3
You have $5,000 to invest at 6% annual interest
compounded monthly. How long will it take for your
investment to grow to $6,000?
Note this question is nothing to do with effective
interest but important

Since interest is added at the end of the month you will
have to wait 37 months
