Section 2: Calculations

Page 2: Unit 5: Saving and Investing

I CAN:

Define principle Apply the rate of return Calculate Simple interest, compound

interest and the rule of 72

Page 3: Unit 5: Saving and Investing

Principle

This is the amount of money YOU put in. If I put $100 into a savings account at

1% interest, $100 is my PRINCIPLE 1% is my APY or rate of return

Always make APY a decimal. EX .01

Instructor: See flipchart

Page 4: Unit 5: Saving and Investing

Simple Interest

This is the easiest type of interest to calculate Multiply Principle X Interest Rate X years

invested $100 X .01 X 2 years= $2

Instructor: See flipchart; When complete use 5.3 Simple interest worksheet

Page 5: Unit 5: Saving and Investing

Compound Interest Compound means you will earn interest on your

previously earned interest. So, if you have $100 in a savings account earning 1% for 2 years and it compounds annually, you will:

Year 1: 100 X .o1= $1 100 + 1= 101 Year 2: 101 X.01= 1.01 101 + 1.01= 102.01 After 2 years, you have earned $2.01 (simple

interest would have earned only $2) Usually interest is compounded quarterly (4X per

year), semi-annually (2X per year), or annually (1 X per year)Instructor: See flipchart; When complete use 5.4

compound interest

The Rule of 72

72/%rate of return= how many years until your money doubles.

DO NOT CHANGE % TO DECIMAL

If I invest $100 at 1%, I will have $200 in 72 years

72/1=72

Instructor: See flipchart; When complete use 5.5 rule of 72

CAN I?

Define principle Apply the rate of return Calculate Simple interest, compound

interest and the rule of 72

I can prove this by completing: 5.3: simple interest 5.4: compound interest 5.5: Rule of 72
