8. Compound Interest – What is it? Interest - is a fee paid on borrowed assets. It is the price paid for the use of borrowed money (auto loan, house mortgage) OR Money earned by depositedfunds. Compound Interest? Depositedfunds X interest in % / time = Money Earned interest in units of %/time = /time X

10. An Example Deposited Funds = $10000 Interest = 6% / Year What is the interest earned in 1 Year? Interest Earned = Deposited Funds x Interest Interest Earned = $10000 x 6/100 Interest Earned = $60 What is the future value of your deposit after 1 Year? Future Value = Deposited Funds + Interest Earned Future Value = $10000 + $60 Future Value = $10060

11. Compound Interest: Continued OK, but what is Compound Interest? $1000 Today x 6% Interest / year $60 earned in one year Compound interest is interest earned on interest!

12. Compound Interest: Continued If I leave $1000 deposited for 2 Years, how much will I have at the end of 2 Years at 6% interest / year? End of year 1 End of year 2 I got paid 6% interest on the $60 in interest I earned!! $1060 X 0.06 = ($1000 + $60) X 0.06 OR ($1000 + $60) X 0.06 = ($1000 X 0.06) + ($60 X 0.06) Interest on Interest!

13. Compound Interest: Continued Compound Interest - arises when interest is added to the initially deposited funds or principal, so that from that moment on, the interest that has been added also itself earns interest. Compound interest has a compounding period Compounding period is the interval of time until earned interest is added to the principal Example: 12% interest / year, compounded monthly 12% / Year 12 Months / Year = 1% / Month

14. Compound Interest: Activity In groups of 2, Describe and demonstrate the concept of compound interest using anything BUT formulas and / or numbers You may use words OR You may use drawings OR You may use manipulatives OR You may use ? You have 10 minutes to create your solution. Pick a representative from your group and share your solution with the class.

15. Compound Interest: Example You have recently graduated from Acme University with a Masters in Mathematics. Luckily for you, the economy was chugging along nicely when you graduated. Jobs were plentiful. You had several interviews and accepted a position at better than expected pay and benefits doing something that sounded good during the interview. Unfortunately, it sounded better than it is. After six years in college you have become acclimated to the college life and making the transition to the 40+ hours per week for 50 weeks a year has been tough. In fact, you hate it, and have vowed to find a way to retire young. To retire you must have money to live on. Looking back at your spending habits during college, you have deduced that a million dollars in savings would be enough for you to retire with. Hence, you have decided to put your math skills to work to figure out how long it will take to save a million dollars.

16. Compound Interest: Example Continued Mom and Dad have given you a good start. Mom and Dad were so proud of your academic accomplishments that they gave you $10,000 at graduation. You don’t want to take a lot of risk with your $10,000 nest egg so you have decided to invest this money in government bonds since your research has shown that you can get, on average, a 6% yearly return compounded monthly.

18. Review What is Compound Interest ? If you deposit your money in a bank that pays compound interest, What RISK are you taking? What REWARD do you expect?

19. Home Work Compare the example we did in class with the following Suppose you waited 10 years before investing the initial $10000 at the same interest rate. What is the difference in value at 20 years, 30 years, 40 years? Suppose you save an additional $500 dollars a month from you salary that also earns the same interest rate. Make a model to track your savings growth. In a paragraph or two, compare the performance of the three scenarios. Which approach would you recommend to reach your savings goal, why? How might you get to your goal quicker? What other forms of investment pay “interest”? Catalogue at least 5 of them showing average yearly interest. Is there a relationship between RISK and interest paid? Explain your answer.
