mathematics help manage my wealth?

Overarching Inquiry Statement
• Humans use logical mathematical processes to
simplify, quantify and model scenarios in order to
make reasoned financial decisions

Curiosities (To be completed by
myself)
• Factual:
When can I retire with enough money?
How much interests do I to pay for my house?
What kind of job offers the most stability?
• Conceptual
• What is the most important financial math formula?
• Is there a way to calculate the best method to finance my
house?

Investigation
into Simple
interest &
Compound
Interest

Simple Interest

What is simple interest?
• Simple interest is an interest charge that borrowers pay
lenders for a loan. It is calculated using the principal
only.
• Simple interest is calculated by multiplying loan
principal by the interest rate and then by the term of a
loan.
• Simple interest can provide borrowers with a basic idea
of a borrowing cost.
• Auto loans and short-term personal loans are usually
simple interest loans.
• Simple interest involves no calculation of compound
interest.
• A benefit of simple interest over compound interest can
be a lower borrowing cost.

Applications

Buying a car
• Firstly, I went on Carsales.com.au to search
up a car I wish to purchase. Then, I went on
finder.com.au to look up the interest rates
and considered purchasing the car, taking a
loan over a couple of years.

First Goal in life (carsales.com.au)
• Getting a car
Principal (Original Cost) = $83 490
rate = 6.24% (0.0624)
Time = 7 years
• Interest = Principal x rate x time
= $83 490 x 0.0624 x 7
= $36468.432
Total amount payable = $83 490 + $36468.432
= $119958.432
= $119958.43 (to 2 dec pl)
Monthly payment = $119958.43 / 84
= $1428.08 ( to 2 dec pl)

Extension:
Depreciation
• The term depreciation refers to an
accounting method used to
allocate the cost of a tangible or
physical asset over its useful life.

Depreciation Calculations (Year 10)

Calculations
• Fv = Future value (ending after 1 year older)= $82 990
• Pv = Present value (starting at 2020) = $83 490
• rate (r)= ??
• Number of years (n)= 1
• Fv = Pv (1 - r)n
• 82990 = 83 490 (1-r)1
• 82990 = 83490 (1 - r)
• 82990 = 83490 – 83490r
• 82990 – 83490 = - 83490r
• -500 = -83490 r
• r = -500/-83490
• r = 0.0059884
• Percentage = 0.0059884 x100 = 0.59884% (Rate of depreciation)

Investment property

Second goal – A
house
(realestate.com.au)

Purchase a property
• Pay a deposit: 10% of the total price
• Price of the property: $575 000
• Deposit = 0.10 x $575 000= $5750
• How much do I have to borrow? = 575 000 – 5750 = $569 250
• Interest rate = 4.74% or 0.0474 (decimal)
