spent, the demand for goods

SIMPLE INTEREST
Simple interest is calculated by
using the formula
(P=Principal, R=Rate, T=Time and
I=Interest Rate)
I=P * R * T.
COMPOUND INTEREST
 Compound interest is calculated by using the formula:
 A=P(1+r/n)nt.
 (P=, r=Annual rate of interest and n=Number of times
interest is compounded)
 A=Amount,
 P=Principal amount/the initial amount you borrow or
deposit,
 r=Annual rate of interest
 n=Number of times interest is compounded)
Savings Growth
Simple interest
$1,000 at 10%
Compound interest
$1,000 at 10%
Year 1:
Year 1:
$1,000 * .10 = $100
$1,000 + $100 = $1,100
$1,000 * .10 = $100
$1,000 + $100 = $1,100
Year 2:
Year 2:
$1,000 * .10 = $100
$1,100 + $100 = $1,200
What would the value be at
the end of year 3?
$1,100 * .10 = $110
$1,100 + $110 = $1,210
What would the value be at

Selecting Stock
Factors that could influence investors in selecting stock:
 Economic
 Inflation
 Interest rates
 Consumer spending
 Employment
 Company
 Dividend yield
 Price-earnings ratio
EVALUATION FACTORS
 Safety is the assurance that the money you
have invested will be returned to you.
 Risk is risking losing your investment
(money).
 Potential yield is the percentage of money earned on
your savings or investment over time.
 Usually higher risk of loss and higher yields go
together.
EVALUATION FACTORS
 Liquidity is the ease with which an
investment can be changed into
cash without losing its value.
 Taxes reduce your rate of return because what you have
earned in investments can be taxed by the government
in most cases. Some earnings may be tax-exempt.
Yield Calculations
 Yield is usually calculated in the following way:




current value – original value = yield
original value
Current value=closing price for the day
Original price=price paid for stock
Yield=Interest earned
For example: a stock is bought at $40 and valued at $43:
$43 – $40
$40
yield = 7.5%
Yield Calculations
 Dividends also may be added to the calculation.
 For example: a stock is bought at $40 and sold at $43,
but also earned a $2 dividend during that time:
$43 + $2 – $40
$40
yield = 12.5%
