Lecture Two

Section 2.1 – Simple and Compound Interest

Simple Interest simply means money is not compounded only once between the beginning and the end

of the note (or investment). With simple interest, the interest is calculated only at the end of the time

period {rather than periodically as is done with compounding.}

A: Amount is the balance of the account (including the interest).

P: Principal is the initial amount of principal that is borrowed or invested.

I: Interest is the fee that is applied to the note or investment.

r: Rate is the interest rate

t: Time is time in years.
