FM4 CREDIT AND BORROWING

FM4 CREDIT AND BORROWING Whe you purchase big ticket items such as cars, boats, televisios ad the like, retailers ad fiacial istitutios have various terms ad coditios that are implemeted for the cosumer whe they are payig their items off. The most commo way of purchasig items today is usig a credit card. These hady pieces of plastic eable us essetially to loa from a bak ad repay it (usually with iterest) over a give time period. Credit cards fuctio i two ways: Iterest-free periods whe you have a certai period of time (usually 55 days) before eedig to pay for purchased items. After that a sigificatly high iterest rate kicks i ad iterest is charged daily. No iterest-free periods whe iterest kicks i immediately from the time of purchase. The iterest rate is usually lower tha that of a credit card with a iterestfree period ad oce agai, iterest is calculated daily. The iterest rate o a credit card is geerally expressed as a aual rate of iterest. You will the eed to covert it to a daily rate (ad the to a decimal) as iterest is calculated o a daily basis. The simple iterest formula is used whe workig with credit cards. Alteratively you may purchase items o terms. This is whe you pay a deposit ad borrow the remaider. This amout is the repaid i equal (usually mothly) istalmets with iterest. This is also kow as a flat rate loa as the simple iterest formula is used to calculate the iterest charged. Aother type of loa is a reducig balace loa where the amout of iterest charged each moth is depedat o the outstadig balace o the loa ad ot the iitial amout borrowed as with flat rate loas. Home loas are a classic example of a reducig balace loa. I these cases, the compoud iterest formula is used i calculatios. I questios relatig to reducig balace loas, you will ofte be required to show the ability to track a loa for the first few moths buy fillig i certai missig values i a table. Studets are ofte required to use a repaymet table to make calculatios. I these, the repaymet for loas at varyig iterest rates ad for varyig terms is show. Sometimes the figures give are per $1,000 of borrowigs meaig multiplicatio of the figure i the table may be required. The effective rate of iterest formula is used for the coversio of a compoudig iterest rate to a simple or flat iterest rate. E (1 r) 1 This formula does ot appear o the formula sheet. Loas are looked at i further detail i FM5 The School For Excellece 2011 Trial Exam Preparatio Lectures Geeral Maths Book 2 Page 13

FM5 ANNUITIES AND LOAN REPAYMENTS A auity is a type of ivestmet where regular equal cotributios are made. The most commo type of auity is a superauatio fud. Whe a sigle deposit is made, the future value of this ivestmet ca be calculated by simply applyig the compoud iterest formula: A P(1 r) I the evet that regular cotributios (M), are to a fud, the future value of a auity is foud by applyig the formula: Where: A (1 r) 1 M r A is the future value, M is the amout of each regular cotributio, r is the iterest rate per period (expressed as a decimal) is the umber of periods. The preset value of a auity ca be foud usig the formula: N A (1 r) This formula ca tell us how much we would eed to deposit today, as a oe off paymet, to achieve the same cumulative result as the auity. The A ca be see as the goal amout. The preset value ca also be foud usig the formula: (1 r) 1 N M r(1 r) This formula is used for calculatig loa repaymets, M, whe the size of the home loa is N. It is also used to fid the amout that must be ivested, N, to produce regular withdrawals of $M per period. Usig preset ad future value tables is also a requiremet of the course.

FM6 DEPRECIATION There are two methods of calculatig the curret value of a asset which has depreciated over time. The straight lie method The asset has a iitial value of V 0 ad if it has bee losig value at a rate of $D per period for periods, the the curret or salvage value of the asset, S, is foud by usig the formula, S V0 D The decliig balace method Whe this method is applied, the asset is assumed to be losig a fixed percetage of its curret value each year. If the asset had a iitial value of V 0 ad it has bee losig value at a rate of r% per period for periods, the its salvage value, S, is foud by usig the formula, S V (1 r) 0 Notice the similarity to the compoud iterest formula. You may be required to complete a table of values trackig the value of the asset over time ad the graph S agaist. It is very commo to see graphs i depreciatio questios, eve if it was give to you. Examiers are more iterested i your ability to iterpret the graph rather tha create it. You eed to also be familiar with the use of either method for the purpose of calculatig tax deductios. Do t make the assumptio that if the questio quotes a percetage rate of depreciatio, that it is automatically a decliig balace questio. Read the questio carefully.
