Simple InterestSimple InterestSimple Interest: Used to calculate interest on

loans…often of one year or less.

Formula: I = Prt I : interest earned (or owed) P : principal invested (or borrowed) r : annual interest rate t : time in years

Example 1Example 1

To buy furniture for a new apartment, Jennifer Wall borrowed $5,000 at 6.5% simple interest for 11 months.

a. How much interest will she pay?

Simple interest: I = Prt

I = ?

Example 1Example 1




I = ? P = $5,000 r = .065 t =11/12

Example 1Example 1




I = ? P = $5,000 r = .065 t =11/12

I = Prt = (5000)(0.065)(11/12) =

a. How much interest will she pay? a. How much interest will she pay? Simple interest: Simple interest: II = = PrtPrt

II = ? = ? PP = $5,000 = $5,000 rr = .065 = .065 tt =11/12 =11/12

II = = PrtPrt = (5000)(0.065)(11/12) = $______ = (5000)(0.065)(11/12) = $______

Example 1Example 1




I = ? P = $5,000 r = .065 t =11/12

I = Prt = (5000)(0.065)(11/12) = $297.92

Example 1Example 1


b. What is the total amount to be repaid?

Example 1Example 1



Amount to Repay = Principal + Interest

Example 1Example 1




= 5000 + 297.92

Example 1Example 1




= 5000 + 297.92 = $ 5,297.92

Example 1Example 1




= 5000 + 297.92 = $ 5,297.92

Notice here that we really have:

A = P + I … or A = P + Prt = P(1 + rt)

Example 1Example 1




= 5000 + 297.92 = $ 5,297.92


A = P + I … or A = P + Prt = P(1 + rt)

So, if you want a direct formula for A with simple interest, useA = P(1 + rt)

Example 1Example 1




= 5000 + 297.92 = $ 5,297.92


A = P + I … or A = P + Prt = P(1 + rt)

So, if you want a direct formula for A with simple interest, useA = P(1 + rt)

and, of course if you only want I, then useI = Prt

Example 4: Effective RateExample 4: Effective RateThe Effective Annual Rate (EAR) is the rate that

would be paid using simple interest in order to be equivalent to a stated compounded rate.

Example 4: Effective RateExample 4: Effective RateThe Effective Annual Rate (EAR) is the rate that

would be paid using simple interest in order to be equivalent to a stated compounded rate.

Financial institutions are usually required by law to provide the effective rate so that consumers can easily compare ‘apples to apples’.

Example 4: Effective RateExample 4: Effective Rate

Ex. Find the effective annual rate corresponding to a rate of 8% compounded quarterly.

The Effective Annual Rate (EAR) is the rate that would be paid using simple interest in order to be equivalent to a stated compounded rate.






This question is easy to answer if we notice a simplifying fact: The interest rate doesn’t change based on the principal or the amount of time.





This question is easy to answer if we notice a simplifying fact: The interest rate doesn’t change based on the principal or the amount of time.So, in our formulas, we can just calculate using $1 for 1 year.
