P R E F A C E

Many people who know little about this subject consider it to be very simple. They think of it as a small chapter in a school ari thmetic book. I have heard it described as "nothing more than simple geometrical progression." Th is is a correct description; bu t the fact remains that in the difficult actuarial examinations it has frequently been a s tumbling block for honours graduates who have easily cleared the hurdles of probabili ty and of mathematical statistics. I t can therefore be a most difficult subject calling for clear thinking and ingenuity of a high order.

Th i s volume, however, is intended as a simple, non-mathematical introduction to the subject, and it omits, as far as possible, unnecessary complications. I t aims to give people who will be concerned with problems of growth— accountants, economists, investment officers, demographers— a working knowledge of the subject to enable them to solve the rout ine day-by-day problems.

Dur ing many years in the financial world I was frequently amazed at the lack of knowledge of these techniques among people whom one would expect to be experts in it. This book was written primarily to provide an elementary intro-duction to the subject for students of the School of Economic and Financial Studies at Macquarie University.

Mathematics of Finance is a subject where the lecture content is small but by comparison the practical content is large. T h e student should be warned that unless he solves a large number of problems he will not develop the ability or confidence to deal with new situations. One other warning should be given—in this subject more than any other, the student must ensure that, before a t tempt ing a new chapter, he has mastered all previous chapters. Failure to do this will inevitably lead to trouble.

SIMPLE INTEREST

Interest (I) is the income earned from investing capital; it is the amount paid for the use of money.

The rate of interest (i) is the amount contracted to be paid for the use of one uni t of capital ($1) for one uni t of time (1 year) . It is often expressed in the form "per cent per annum." Thus , with interest at 6% per annum, i = 0.06.

T h e sum of money invested is called the principal (Ρ ) , and the sum of interest and principal owing at any time is called the amount (A) .

W h e n the interest for any period is charged on the principal only it is called simple interest.

Notes and commercial bills, both of which are in common use, take the form of a writ ten promise to pay a certain sum of money on a specified date. Th is date is called the date of maturity and the sum is called the maturity value. T h e interval between the date of issue and the date of maturi ty is called the term.

Commercial bills before their maturi ty date are regularly sold on the market for an amount a little less than their maturi ty value. Th i s difference is called the discount. T h e rate of discount for a given period is usually expressed as a percentage per annum of the maturity value. T h e amount of money obtained on the sale of a commercial bill is called the proceeds.

Problem 1: Find the simple interest on $250 for 6 months at 6% p.a.

Solution: $250 would earn $250 X .06 in one year. Hence it would

earn $250 X .06 X i or $7.50 in 6 months. I = $7.50.

S I M P L E I N T E R E S T

Problem 2: If $500 is loaned at 3 % p.a. for 150 days, how much

interest is earned and what is the amount at the end of the period? Solution:

$500 earns $500 X .03 in one year. Hence it earns $500

150 χ .03 X or $6.16 in 150 days.

365

/ . I = $6.16 and A = $506.16.

Problem 3:

I paid a friend $1010 for the $1000 he loaned me 50 days ago. W h a t rate of simple interest did I pay? Solution:

He earned $10 for 50 days. At this rate he would have

365 earned $10 X or $73.00 for a full year.

50 73.00

.·. i = = .073 or 7 .3% p.a. 1000

Problem 4: 190 days after borrowing money a man pays back $1000.

How m u d i was borrowed if the $1000 payment includes principal and simple interest at 8% per annum? Solution:

Let the principal = P. 190

T h e n the interest for 190 days = Ρ X .08 X 365

= .041644P the amount = 1.041644P

i.e. 1.041644P = 1000

1000 Ρ - = $960.02

Problem 5: A bill for $785 due on 14th June is sold on the 28th March,

the discount rate being 7% p.a. Wha t are the proceeds? Solution:

T h e number of days to run is determined as follows:— in March 3 in April 30 in May 31 in June 14

78 days 78

Hence the discount = 785 X .07 X 365

= $11.74 .'. the proceeds = 785 — 11.74

= $773.26

COMPOUND INTEREST—Annual Compounding

When the interest earned is periodically added to the prin-cipal and the total amount of principal and interest earns interest for the following period, then the difference between the final amount and the original principal invested is called compound interest.

For the purposes of this chapter we shall assume that interest is added to the principal—a process called compounding—at intervals of 12 months.

If Ρ represents the principal at the beginning of the first year, i the rate of interest per annum—then the interest earned in the first year is Pi and the amount at the end of the first year is Ρ + Pi or Ρ (1+ i) . Th i s latter amount earns interest for the second year equal to Ρ (1 + i) i so that the amount at the end of the second year is Ρ (1 + i) (1 + i) or Ρ (1 + i)

2 and so on.

T h u s after η periods the final compound amount S = P ( l + i)

n

There are four quantit ies in this equat ion—the principal P, the rate of interest i, the term η and the amount S. Given any three, the fourth may be obtained from the equation. Tables of (1 + i)

n for various values of i and η are published

for this purpose. (See tables following Page 68.)

Problem 1: Find the amount if $500 is invested for 10 years at 6% per

annum, interest being compounded annually. Solution:

S = 500 (1.06) 10

= 500 X 1.79085 from the tables = $895.42

Page 9: A. H. Pollard (Auth.)-An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance-Elsevier Ltd, Pergamon (1968)

6 C O M P O U N D I N T E R E S T

Problem 2: Find the amount which $100 will accumulate to over 200

years if invested at 6% per annum, interest being compounded annually. Solution:

S = 100 (1.06) 2 00

= 100 (1.06) 1 00

(1.06) 1 00

= 100 Χ 339.30208 Χ 339.30208 = $11,512,205 or $11.51 million

[N.B. I t is necessary to split (1.06) 2 00

into factors since the tables do not give values for η > 100.]

Problem 3: Find the amount which $500 will accumulate to over 12

years at 5.2% p.a. compounding annually. Solution:

S = 500 (1.052) 12

= 500[ (1.79586 + | of (1.90121 — 1.79586)]

= 500(1.79586 + .04214) = 500 X 1.83800 = $919

(N.B. Tables are not published at 5.2% interest and we have estimated the value from the 5 % and the 5 J % tables by the above process called interpolation. We could alternatively have evaluated S from the above equat ion by logarithms.)

Problem 4: I am to be given $10,000 in 15 years' time. W h a t is the

present value at 5 % p.a., interest being compounded annually? Solution:

10,000 = Ρ (1 .05)1 5

10,000 Ρ =

(1 .05)1 5

= 10,000 Χ .48102 = $4,810

[N.B. The re are tables of (usually written vn)

(1 + i)n

prepared for determining present values. (See Page 68 onwards.]

Problem 5: Find the amount which $10,000 will accumulate to if in-

vested for 15 years 3 months at 6% p.a. compounded annually.

Solution: S = 10,000 (1.06)

1 5*

= 10,000[2.39656 + J (2.54035 — 2.39656)] = 10,000 X 2.43251 = $24,325 by interpolat ion.

We could alternatively have used compound interest tables for 15 years and added 3 months ' simple interest on the amount at the end of 15 years.

Thus , S = 10,000 (1 .06)1 5 + 3 months ' simple interest

= 10,000(2.39656) + 3 months ' simple interest = 23,965.6 + 23,965.6 X .015 = $24,325

Or, by logarithms log S = log 10,000 + 1 5 1 log 1.06

= 4 + \b\ X 0.025306 = 4.38592

. · . S = $24,320

Problem 6: $1500 amounts to $2400 in 9 years. W h a t is the compound

rate of interest?

Solution: T h e rate of interest i is given by

1500(1 + i )° = 2400 that is by (1 + i)» = 1.6

From the tables we note that (1.05) 9 = 1.55133

(1.055) 9 = 1.61909

Hence the answer to our problem is between 5 % and 5 | % .

Page 11: A. H. Pollard (Auth.)-An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance-Elsevier Ltd, Pergamon (1968)

8 C O M P O U N D I N T E R E S T

It is near enough to work out the answer by proport ion. At 5 % we obtain 1.55133 At i we obtain 1.6 At 5 | % we obtain 1.61909

Hence 1.6 — 1.55133

51 — 5 1.61909 — 1.55133

= 0.7183 = 5 + ι X 0.7183 - 5.36% p.a.

Problem 7: With interest at 6% p.a. compound, how long will it take

$100 to amount to $150?

Solution: 100(1.06)* = 150 Λ (1.06)* = 1.5 By interpolation from the tables

1.5 —1.41852 η = 6 -|-

1.50363 — 1.41852

= 6.957 years OR, by logarithms,

η log 1.06 = log 1.5

log ί.5 η =

log 1.06

0.17609

0.025406 = 6.9585 years

T h e difference between the two approximations is less than half a day.

ANNUITIES—CERTAIN

An annuity is a series of payments at fixed equal intervals of time, e.g. payments of rent, life assurance payments, pen-sions, instalment payments. Some annuities are only payable if a person is alive (e.g. life assurance premiums or pensions) , others are payable for a fixed term, no mat ter what happens. T h e latter are called annuities-certain.

We shall deal in this chapter only with annuities—certain and only with annuities where the payments are made annually. When the payments are made at the beginning of the intervals the annuity is called an annuity-due; when they are made at the end of the intervals the annuity is called an immediate annuity or an ordinary annuity.

T h e amount which an immediate annuity of 1 per annum will, with compound interest, accumulate to at the end of η years is written S^j. By accumulating each payment (from the last backwards) with interest to the end of η years

$ Π = 1 + ( 1 + 0 + (1 + 0 2

i Tables of are published for various values of η and i.

(See Page 68 onwards.) T h e amount of an annuity-due at the end of η years may

be obtained in the same way. I t is, however, the same as an immediate annuity for η + 1 years minus the final payment and hence its amount must equal

(See Page 68 onwards.) T h e present value of an annuity-due may be obtained in

the same way. It is clear, however, that it is equal to the first payment plus a η—1 year immediate annuity. Hence its present value equals 1 + a^zn.

If payments are to be made for ever, the annuity is called a perpetuity. T h e present value of a perpetuity, from the above

1 1 expression equals — and of a perpetuity-due 1 + —.

i i Problem 1:

I have $1000 invested at 6% per a n n u m compound and I propose to invest $200 on the same terms at the end of each year for the next 12 years. W h a t will my investment then amount to? Solution:

Amount = 1000 (1 .06)1 2 + 2 0 0 S ^

= 1000 X 2.01220 + 200 X 16.8699 = $5,386.18

Problem 2: A local council is paying off a debt by payments of $5000

at the end of each year. Interest is being charged at 5 J % . W h a t is the outs tanding debt if it has just made a payment and there are still to be made 15 further payments of $5000 and a final payment of $2000 at the end of the 16th year? Solution:

2000 Debt outs tanding = 5000αϊη +

(1 .055)1 6

= 5000 X 10.0376 + 2000 X 0.42458 = $51,037

Problem 3: On my 16th birthday I was given an annuity of $500 per

year for 10 years, the first payment to be made on my 21st birthday. W h a t was the gift worth at 5 % p.a. compound interest-Solution:

This equals an annuity of $500 payable on each birthday from my 17th to my 30th inclusive (i.e. 14 payments) minus an annuity of $500 on each bir thday from my 17th to my 20th (i.e. 4 pavments) . Hence the present value equals

5 0 0 ^ — 5 0 0 ^ = 500 (9.8986 — 3.5460) = $3,176

This is called a deferred annuity.

Problem 4: A house is purchased for $12,500. A deposit of $4250 is

required. W h a t annual payment is required to pay off the balance over 15 years at 6 | % p.a. compound? Solution:

T h e loan = 12,500 — 4250 = $8250. If X is the annual repayment, then the present value of

the repayments equals X a j i n

= 9.4027 X 9.4027 X = 8250

8250 X = = $877.41

9.4027

Problem 5: If no payments were made for the first five years, what

annual payments would then be required to pay off the house by the end of 15 years? Solution:

Let Y be the annual payment. T h e n 8250 = Y ( λ ι ΊΠ — a n )

8250

Y = = $1,572.33 9.4027 — 4.1557

Page 16: A. H. Pollard (Auth.)-An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance-Elsevier Ltd, Pergamon (1968)

A N N U I T I E S C E R T A I N 13

Problem 6:

If only interest is paid dur ing the first 5 years, what subse-quent annual repayments would be required to pay off the house by the end of 20 years-Solution:

Let Ζ be the required annual payment. T h e n 8250 = 8250 X 0.065«^ + Ζ (a^ — a^)

8250 — 8250 X 0.065 X 4.1557 Ζ -

11.0185 — 4.1557

- $877.41 (N.B. Th is is the same answer as for Problem 4. Th is is

because, by paying interest only, the loan outs tanding at the end of 5 years is still $8250 which then has to be paid oft over 15 years as in Problem 4.)

Problem 7: A loan of $75,000 is to be repaid by equal annua l instalments

of $6000. How long at 6% p.a. compound will it take to repay the loan? Solution:

Let η — the term of the loan. T h e n 75,000 = βΟΟΟα^

75,000 = = 12.5 at 6 %

6000

From the tables it can be seen that η lies between 23 and 24 years. By interpolation:

η — 23 12.5 — 12.3034

24 — 23 12.5504 — 12.3034

.1966

η = 23 + 23.8 years .2470

It is usual in such cases to pay $6000 at the end of each of the first 23 years and a final payment at the end of the

THE USE OF COMPOUND INTEREST TABLES

Four compound interest tables have been described and. each applies to a particular situation. Let us consider each of these in turn.

1. Tables of (1 + i) » If we require the amount to which $1 will accumulate with

compound interest for η years at rate i per annum, the answer is (1 + ι )

n and is found in the tables—thus:

at 5 % p.a. $1 will amount to $1.27628 i n ' 5 years $1 will amount to $2.65330 in 20 years $100 will amount to $265.330 in 20 years

(1 + ί) η _ ι 2. Tables of or

i

If instead of having a single $1 accumulating with compound interest, we have a numbei η (say) of $1 payments being made at equal intervals of one year, then by means of S^-| tables we can find the amount to which they will accumulate with compound interest up to the date of the last payment. [We could, of course, consider each payment separately and use the (1 + i)

n tables and add all the figures. Th is would be

a long procedure and S-^ tables are introduced to save this labour.]

Thus , assuming compound interest at 5 % p.a. and using (1 + i)

n tables:

$ $1 invested now will in one year be worth ... 1.05 $1 invested in one year will then be worth .... 1.00

To ta l $2.05

Page 20: A. H. Pollard (Auth.)-An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance-Elsevier Ltd, Pergamon (1968)

T H E U S E O F C O M P O U N D I N T E R E S T T A B L E S 17

Or, using S-^ tables, This is a 2-year annuity of $1 p.a. which, as at the date

of the last payment will be worth Sj] or $2.05.

( ϋ )

$ Similarly, using (1 + i)

n tables

$1 invested now will in 2 years' time be worth (1.05)

2 1.1025

$1 invested in 1 year's time will 1 year later be worth (1.05) 1.05

$1 invested in 2 years' time will then be worth $1 1.00

To ta l $3.1525

Or, using S , t i tables, This is a 3-year annuity of $1 p.a. which, as at the date

of the last payment will be worth or $3.1525.

$ 1.27628

(iii) 1.21551 Similarly, taking each payment separately and using 1.15763

(1 + i)n tables at 5 % , a six-year annuity of $1 1.10250

p.a. will, as at the date of the sixth payment, be 1.05000 worth— 1.00000

$6.80192

Bat, it is much simpler to use tables which tell us immediately that the value of a six-year annuity of $1 p.a. as at the date of the last payment is S(7I

0 1 $6.80192.

Note the words—"As at the date of the last payment." If we require the value at any other time we have to make the appropriate adjustment.

Any problem—where we are concerned to find the amount to which given deposits will accumulate (with interest) as at some future time—can be solved using (1 + i)

n and S-^-\

tables with appropriate juggling. Here are some examples— described graphically for both brevity and simplicity. Pay-ments are indicated by a line and an amount and the time at which we wish to know the accumulated amount is rep-resented by V

C H A P T E R FIVE

LOANS REPAYABLE BY EOUAL ANNUAL INSTALMENTS WHEN INTEREST IS CHARGED

ONLY ON THE AMOUNT OF PRINCIPAL FROM TIME TO TIME OUTSTANDING

Amortization is a term used for the process of paying off a debt (i.e. both principal and interest) by a series of pay-ments. T h e payments are usually equal; they cover the interest due u p to the date of payment and any balance is used to repay par t of the debt.

I t is usually necessary for accounting purposes to know how much of each payment is required for interest and how much is therefore available as a repayment of principal . T h e amount of the debt outstanding at any time can then be presented in the form of a loan repayment schedule.

Problem 1: A loan of $10,000 at 5 % per a n n u m compound is to be

repaid by 5 equal annual instalments. Prepare a loan repay-ment schedule.

Solution: W e first find the amount of the annual payment, X (say).

10,000 = Xaji at 5 %

10,000 X = = $2309.75

4.3294767

(N.B. Tables with a large number of decimal places are necessary to obtain the required accuracy )

T h e information we require in the schedule is as follows:

Th i s information may be filled in line by line commencing with $10,000.00 principal outstanding on the left hand side of line one and ending with 0 on the right hand side of line 5. Column (2) is 5% of the principal outstanding at the beginning of the year (Column 1) ; the principal contained in each payment (Column 3) is obtained by subtracting the interest (Column 2) from the annual payment of $2309.75 and Column 4 is obtained by subtracting Column 3 from Column 1.

(N.B. We should end up with 0 at the bottom of Column 4. Th i s is a check on the arithmetic.)

Problem 2:

A loan of $50,000 at 5 | % p.a. compound interest is being repaid by 30 equal annual payments. Find, without prepar ing a schedule,

(a) the principal outstanding immediately after the 10th payment has been made;

(b) the interest contained in the 11th payment; (c) the principal contained in the 11th payment; (d) the principal outstanding immediately after the 11th

payment has been made.

(N.B. Th i s information would be contained in the repay-ment schedule on the line opposite year 11, but can be obtained quite independently and hence may be used as a spot check on the accuracy of the schedule.)

Solution: First calculate the instalment, X.

50,000 = Xam at 5 J %

50,000 X = = $3440.26

14.53374517

(a) Immediately after the 10th payment has been made the amount then outstanding is repaid by, and therefore equal in value to, 20 equal annual payments of $3440.26. Hence the amount then outstanding equals

3440.26öö7T| at h\%

= 3440.26 X 11.9503825 = $41,112.42

(b) T h e interest due at the time of the 11th payment equals 5 J % on the amount then outstanding, namely $41,112.42, and hence equals

41,112.42 X .055 = $2261.18

(c) T h e balance of the payment, namely 3440.26 — 2261.18 = $1179.08

is available for part repayment of principal.

(d) T h e principal outstanding after the 11th payment is therefore

41,112.42 — 1,179.08 = $39,933.34 As a check this may also be calculated as in (a)

T h e sum of $10,000 will be needed at the end of 10 years. If 5 % compound interest can be earned on a sinking fund, what amount must be placed into it at the end of each year? Solution:

X S-m = 10,000 at 5 %

10,000 X = = $795.05

Problem 2: How much money would be in the fund at the end of 7

years?

Solution: Amount = 795.05 X Sr\ at b%

= 795.05 X 8.1420 = $6,473.30

Problem 3: What would the answers be to Problems 1 and 2 if the

amount were placed in the fund at the beginning of each year?

Solution:

Χ(5 ΐη — 1) = 10,000 at 5 %

10,000 .*. Yearly deposit = = $757.19

13.2068

Amount in fund = 757.19 (S 8 — 1) at 5 % = 757.19 X 8.5491 = $6,473.30

Sometimes a lender is not prepared to accept an equal annual instalment covering both principal and interest in repayment of the debt. Because of the difficulty of investing small irregular amounts he insists on interest payments only being made and the full loan being repaid in a lump sum at the end of a specified period. In such cases the borrower usually prepares for the ult imate repayment of the loan by setting up a sinking fund. T h e interest earned on the sinking fund is usually less than that which he has to pay on the loan. T h annual expense of the debt is the expression used for the sum of the interest payment and the sinking fund payment.

Problem 4: A council borrows $10,000 for 10 years at 6% p.a., and sets

up a sinking fund at 5 % p.a. to repay the loan. Wha t is the annual expense of the loan? Solution:

T h e annual interest charge = $600.00 T h e sinking fund payment = 795.05

(See Problem 1)

.'. Annual expense of loan = $1,395.05

Problem 5: A council wishes to borrow $5000 for 10 years. Bank A

will lend at 6% p.a. and accept equal annual repayments of principal and interest. Bank Β will lend at 5 % p.a. provided interest only is paid annually and the principal is repaid at the end of the 10 years. T h e council can accumulate a sinking fund at 3 % p.a. Which is the cheaper method of borrowing and by how much? Solution:

T h e annual cost under Bank A terms

5000

5000 = $679.34

7.3601

Page 34: A. H. Pollard (Auth.)-An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance-Elsevier Ltd, Pergamon (1968)

S I N K I N G F U N D S 31

T h e annual cost under Bank Β terms 5000

= 5000 X .05 + at 3 %

5000 = 250 + = $686.15

11.4639 Bank A's terms are the better by $6.81 per annum.

In each of the following problems we purchase a machine for a given amount (say $1000) and after a given period (say every 10 years) it requires replacement at a given cost (say $800). We have to find the annual cost at (say) 5 % per annum compound interest of owning the machine—that is, the level annual amount (X) payable for ever which is equivalent to the above irregular payments and which will therefore result in us owning such a machine for ever.

There are several ways of solving this problem, all producing the same answer.

Method 1: If we pay $1000 immediately and set up a sinking fund to

accumulate to $800 every 10 years we will then be in a position to buy the machines when they are required. T h e annual cost of this is the interest we lose each year (for ever) on the $1000 plus the annual sinking fund payment.

800 . · . X = 1000 X 0.05 + at 5 % p.a. = $113.60

Method 2: We could pay $200 now out of our own funds and borrow

$800 now, and again every 10 years and pay off these loans by equal annual payments spread over the 10 years between the loans. T h e annual cost is then the interest we lose (for ever) on the $200 plus the annual payment (for ever) to repay the loans.

800 / . X = 200 X 0.05 + at 5 % p.a. = $113.60 as before

«ÎÔJ

Page 35: A. H. Pollard (Auth.)-An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance-Elsevier Ltd, Pergamon (1968)

32 S I N K I N G F U N D S

Method 3: Alternatively we could equate the present value of the

irregular payments to the present value of a perpetuity of X per annum.

1 0 + 800 ( )

X = 1000 X 0.05 + 800 X 0.05 at 5 % p.a. 1 — v™

= $113.60 as before

It is an interesting exercise to show tnat these formulae are mathematically identical. T h e proof follows simply, using the fact that

We shall use Method 1 in each of the following examples.

Problem 6: W h a t is the cost of owning (not running) a hot water

service which costs $200 originally and needs replacing every 10 years at a cost of $175. (Assume that money is worth 5 % per annum.)

Solution: Annual cost = interest charge -f sinking fund payment

175 = 200 X .05 + at 5 %

175 = 10 +

12.5779 = $23.91

Problem 7: r

Which machine is cheaper in the long run—one which costs $1200 and must be replaced at the end of 10 years at a cost of $800 or one which cost $1500 and must be replaced at the end of 15 years at a cost of $1000? (Assume 5 % interest.)

Solution: T h e annual costs allowing for both interest and sinking fund

payments are 800 1000

1200 X .05 + and 1500 X .05 + at 5 %

i.e. $123.60, and $121.34 T h e second machine is the cheaper.

Problem S: A machine costing $15,000 will last 35 years at which time

it can be sold as scrap for $1000. How much could a company afford to pay for an alternative machine which will last only 20 years and have no scrap value? (Assume money is worth 4 ^ % per annum.)

Solution: Let X = the required amount . Annual cost of first machine

14,000 = 15,000 X .045 + at \ \ %

S35I = $846.79

Th i s equals the annual cost of the second machine when

X 846.79 = Χ X .045 + at \ \ %

i.e. X( .045 + .031876) = 846.79 Λ X = $11,015

T h e company can therefore pay up to $11,015 for the alternative machine.

Problem 9: Which is the more economical of the following machines?

Λ Β Cost $6,000 $52,000 Life 20 years 25 years Scrap Value $1,500 $7,000 Repairs $250 p.a. $350 p.a. Operat ing Expenses $4,800 p.a. $6,800 p.a. Ou tpu t 1 uni t 2 units

(Assume 5 % interest.)

Solution:

T h e effective annual cost of A per uni t of ou tpu t

4500 6000 X .05 + + 250 + 4800 at 5 %

45,000 • = h (52,000 X .05 + .+ 350 + 6800) at 5 %

(N.B. Operat ing expenses would normally be spread throughout the year and not payable in a lump sum at the end of the year. T h e method of adjusting for this will be considered later.)

6-1 A company pays $1000 each year into a bank sinking fund earning 6% p.a. compound interest. After making five payments the rate of interest granted by the bank on the fund is reduced to 4 % p.a. T h e company therefore decides to increase its future deposits to $1200. Wha t amount is in the fund after 15 payments alto-gether have been made?

6-2 A company now has $1000 in a sinking fund that earns interest at 5 % p.a. W h a t annual deposit is required to cause the fund to amount to $10,000 in 10 years' time?

6-3 A council has to pay off two loans, one for $50,000 due in 10 years and one for $10,000 due in 12 years. A sinking fund is to be set up into which equal annual deposits will be paid for 12 years to repay both loans. If the fund earns interest at 5 % per annum, what will the annual deposit be? Find the amount of the fund at the end of 8 years. Will there be enough in the fund after 10 years to meet the $50,000 payment?

6-4 A mine is expected to produce a net income of $50,000 per year for 20 years and will then be worthless.

EQUATIONS OF VALUE

If interest is at 6% per annum, §10,000 now is of the same value at 10,000 (1.06)

10 or $17,908.5 clue in 10 years' time.

Conversely 817,908.5 due in 10 years' time is (at 6% interest) worth SI0,000 at the present time.

Let us consider the value of each of these two payments in four years' time. T h e S 10,000 payable now will, in four years' time, be worth 10,000 (1.06)

4 or $12,624.8; the payment of

S 17,908.5 which will then be due six years later will then be worth (at 6% interest) SI7.908.5 (1.06) -° = $12,624.8 also. T h a t is. at any point in time, at 6°/0 interest, the two payments ire of equal value.

T h e same holds true for any two equivalent sets of pay-ments. For example—again at 6% interest—$1000 due in three years' time plus S2000 due in six years' time is equal ir value to S3585.43 due in eight years' time since . . .

1000 (1.06)·"· + 2000 (1.06) 2 = 3585.43

T h e P.V. of the first two payments = 1000 (1.06)-

3 + 2000(1.06)-« = 2249.54

and the P.V. of the third = 3585.43(1.06)-« = 2249.54 also. T h e values of the two sets of payments at any point of time,

at 6% interest, are equal. If we have two such sets of payments which, at some rate

of interest, are of equal value, then any equation which expresses this equality of value at any time is called an equation of value.

Problem 4: A $100 debenture is purchased in the market for $90 imme-

This means that for $90 the investor receives $2.50 per annum for six years plus $100 at the end of six years. T h e equat ion of value at the date of purchase is therefore . . .

90 = 2 . 5 0 0 7 ] + ΙΟΟϊ;6

$10 over six years—a return of roughly 2.50 + or $4.17 6

per year. T h e rate of interest should therefore be about 4.17

T o determine the effective net re turn more accurately, we calculate the right hand side of the equat ion of value above at two rates of interest and interpolate.

At 4 i % , R H S = 2.50 X 5.1579 + 76.790 = 89.684. Th is gives a little less than $90 so the actual rate is below

At 4 % , R H S = 2.50 X 5.2421 4- 79.031 = 92.137. Therefore, by interpolat ion

i — .04 90 — 92.137

giving i = .04436 or 4.436% p.a.

Problem 5: A has an obligation to pay Β $100 in a year's time and

$300 in three years' time. Β says he will accept in lieu (i) $362.80 or (ii) four payments of $95.18, the first immediately and the other three at intervals of one year. Which is the better for A of these two options? Solution:

Under opt ion (i) the interest rate involved is given by the equat ion

362.80 = lOOi; + 300t;3

and may be shown to be approximately 4 % p.a. At this rate of interest (4%) the present value of the payments under option (ii) is

95.18 (1 + a$ = $359.31 Hence option (ii) is the better opt ion for A. (Alternatively, we could have worked out the rate of

interest involved under opt ion (ii) and found it was about 5%—hence the better option for A.)

COMPOUNDING MORE FREQUENTLY THAN ANNUALLY

If $1000 is invested, and interest is compounded monthly at a rate of 1% per month, then the interest added to the account at the end of each month is as follows:—

First month : $1000 X .01 = $10 Second month : $1010 X .01 = $10.10 T h i r d month : $1020.10 X .01 = $10.20 and so on.

Using 1% tables of (1 + i)n we can see that at the end

of 12 months the $1000 would have accumulated to 1000 (1.01)

1 2 = $1,126.83

which is the same amount as $1000 would have accumulated to at 12.683% with interest compounded annually.

Hence 1% per month compounding monthly is equivalent to 12.683% per annum compounding annually. A rate of 1% per month compounding monthly is usually referred to as a nominal rate of 12% per annum convertible monthly, and 12.683%, is spoken of as the effective rate of interest. T h e effective rate i corresponding to a nominal rate of / per a n n u m convertible m times a year is thus . . .

Problem 1: Find the effective rate of interest corresponding to 8% p.a.

convertible quarterly. Solution:

8% p.a. convertible quarterly equals 2 % per quarter. T h e effective rate is 8.24% p.a. since (1.02)

4 = 1.0824.

Since (1.01) 1 2

= 1.12683, (1.01) 6 0

= (1.12683}5

Hence $1000 invested at* a nominal rate of 12% per annum convertible monthly will accumulate at the end of 5 years (or 60 months) to the same amount as $1000 would accumu-

late to after 5 years at 12.683% p.a. with interest added annually. T h e two rates are thus equivalent.

If we have an annuity of $1000 per a n n u m payable at the end of each year with interest at 12% p.a. convertible monthly, then each payment at the end of η years' time will have accumulated to the same amount as it would have accumulated to at a rate of 12.683% p.a. with interest added annually. Hence at 12% p.a. convertible monthly, the annuity at the end of η years would have accumulated to ΙΟΟΟ τ̂η at a rate 12.683% p.a.

T h e same reasoning applies to the present value of an annuity. T h e P.V. of an annuity of $1000 p.a. for η years, the first payment being due in a year's time, at a rate of 12% p.a. convertible monthly is therefore lOOOa^at 12.683% p.a.

Problem 2: Find the P.V. of an annual annui ty of $100 for 10 years,

first payment in one year's time, at a nominal rate of 6% p.a. convertible monthly. Solution:

T h e effective rate is thus 6.168% p.a. T h e P.V. is thus the P.V. of an annuity of $100 for 10 years

at 6.168% p.a. which (by substi tuting in the formula) equals

= $3,402

By interpolation, using S~^\ tables at 6% and 6£% we obtain $3401. (N.B. Th is again is an approximat ion—the first method is accurate if taken to sufficient decimal places.)

Often, in practice, annuities are payable more frequently than annually—say, monthly, half yearly, etc. Usually in such cases interest is added with the same frequency. As an example, consider a monthly deposit of $10 for 8 years at 12% p.a. convertible monthly, the first deposit being in one month 's time. It will amount at the end of 8 years to . .

Thus , where annuities are payable monthly and also interest is convertible monthly, the 07η and S-^ tables may be used where η is the number of monthly payments and the rate of

interest is the monthly rate or — of the nominal annual rate.

CONTRACTS AT "FLAT" RATES OF INTEREST

No doubt on the grounds of simplicity, it is the custom in many sections of the retail trade, in the hire purchase industry and elsewhere, to charge what are called "flat" rates of interest —i.e. where the interest charge is based on the original amount of the loan and does not reduce as principal repay-ments are made.

T h e system works as follows:— An article is bought for $78. Cash is not available and so

a "sale on terms" is permitted. T h e terms are repayment over 12 months with interest at "10% Hat." This means that the interest charge is $7.80 per year for (in this case) 12 months, or $7.80 which is added to the original cost of the article, making the total debt $85.80. Th i s is to be paid oft evenly over 12 months and hence the monthly payment is $85.80 divided by 12 or $7.15 per month .

We are interested in two aspects of this type of transaction:—

(1) the real or effective rate of interest that is being charged;

(2) the outstanding debt at any stage—that is:— (i) the theoretical payment which should be made if

at any stage the debtor wishes to pay off his outstanding indebtedness; or from another point of view

(ii) the amount which the lender should treat, at any stage, as the value of his asset, i.e. the amount of principal still owing to him.

Τ lie real rate of interest being charged $78 is in fact being paid off by 12 monthly instalments of

$7.15. Hence, if / is the monthly rate of interest, 78 7.15rt77|

giving ι — .015 per month = ( i .015)

1- — 1 = .1956 per annum

or 19.56% per annum

The outstanding debt

Although the principle is simple, the actual calculation is complicated. For this reason, very early in the history of these types of contract, a simple, approximate rule was intro-duced called "the rule of 78."

I t recognizes the fact that as the principal outs tanding at the beginning of the 12 months is a max imum ($78) and a min imum at the end ($zero) then the interest content of each instalment must be a max imum in the first instalment and a min imum in the last instalment. The rule assumes that the amount of interest contained in eacli instalment reduces linearly. T h a t is, it assumes that the amount of interest in the second last instalment is double that in the last; the amount in the third last instalment is three times that in the last and so on. Hence the interest payments are assumed to be proport ional to 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Since the total of these figures = 78 the fraction of the total interest which has to be paid (namely $7.80), which is paid in the various instalments is . . .

12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

78? 78' 78' 78' Ί8 78* 78* Ί8 78* 78 Ί8 78

T h e actual interest payments, according to the rule of 78, in this case are therefore . . .

1.20, 1.10, 1.00, .90, .80, .70, .60, .50, .40, .30, .20, .10 which total $7.80. T h e balance of each payment is principal. Principal payments therefore are . . .

totalling $78.00 which repays the full loan. (It is because 12 + 11 + 10 + . . . + 1 total 78—the 12

months repayment case—that the rule received its name.) Tables have been prepared, based on this assumption that

the interest payment reduces uniformly, and are in regular use for determining the outs tanding debt at any time and the amount of interest which has actually been received and can be included in profits. I t is a reasonably good approxima-tion for loans u p to five years' durat ion. It does however always overstate the interest payments in the earlier years and understates them in the later years. Its use therefore

50 C O N T R A C T S A T " F L A T " R A T E S O F I N T E R E S T

tends to lead companies to overstate their profits in the earlier years and they then find it tougher going in the later years. Its use in longer term contracts (over 5 years) would lead to a serious early overstatement of profits.

We now describe the correct method—curiously called the actuarial method. There is noth ing "actuarial" about it; it is simply the correct method.

We assume the real rate of interest being charged, /, has been calculated (as in the previous sect ion).

As soon as the fourth instalment (say) has been made, the outs tanding debt is the present value of the remaining instalments namely . . .

7 .15081 at rate \ \ %

= $53.52

T h e principal which has been repaid in the first four instalments is therefore

78.00 — 53.52 = $24.48

T h e total of the interest payments in the first four instal-ments is therefore

4 X 7.15 — 24.48 = $4.12

These figures compare with $24.40 and $4.20 obtained above under the rule of 78.

I n practice the debtor is often (for good reason) asked to pay more than the figure calculated in this way to discharge his indebtedness.

Problem: A loan of $300 for 5 years at 10% "flat" is repayable by

monthly instalments.

(i) Wha t is the monthly instalment? (ii) W h a t is the real rate of interest on the loan?

(iii) Assuming payments are made on the due dates, fill in (accurately) the details required in the following table.

T h e principal repaid during each year may be determined by subtracting the amount of loan outstanding at the end of each year from the amount of loan outs tanding at the beginning of the year; by subtracting the amounts so obtained from $7.50 X 12 or $90.00 the interest paid each year is found.

Hence we obtain the following:—

) According to the "rule of 78" the interest payments are in proport ion to

60, 59, 58, 57, . . . . , 3, 2, 1. By adding the first and last, the second and second

60 χ 61 last, etc. we see that these figures total

X 150 = 6.39 1830

(Check that these amounts total $150.) T h e principal repaid column is obtained by sub-tracting each of these amounts from $90 (i.e. 12 X 7.50) and the outs tanding debt column by subtracting the principal repaid figures progres-sively from $300.

In practice, ta'bles are available from which the results under the "rule of 78" may be written down. I t is useful, however, to realize the assumption on which it is based and the degree of inaccuracy involved. Note that the error was small in the case of the one-year contract but in the above case of a five-year contract the interest in the first instalment wa

ç 10% overstated.
