True or False? Compound interest results in higher returns than simple interest over time.

True. Compound interest results in higher returns than simple interest over time.

What is depreciation ?

Depreciation is when the value of something decreases over time.

What is the nominal annual rate of interest ?

The nominal annual rate of interest is the stated interest rate without taking into account compounding periods .

True or False? Compounding monthly means k = 12 in the compound interest formula.

True. Compounding monthly means k = 12 in the compound interest formula, because there are 12 months in a year.

What is amortisation ?

Amortisation is the process of repaying a loan over a fixed period of time.

True or False? In amortisation , the amount of interest paid remains constant throughout the loan period.

False. In amortisation , the amount of interest paid decreases as the loan balance decreases.

Define the term mortgage .

A mortgage is a loan taken out to buy a home .

True or False? In the finance solver, PV ( Present Value ) is entered as a positive number for loans .

True. In the finance solver, PV ( Present Value ) is entered as a positive number for loans .

An annuity is a fixed sum of money paid to someone at specified intervals over a fixed period of time.

What does FV ( future value ) typically equal in an annuity calculation?

FV ( future value ) typically equals zero in an annuity calculation, as the balance at the end of the payment period will be zero .

True or False? In amortisation , more of the repayment goes towards interest at the end of the loan period.

False. In amortisation , more of the repayment goes towards interest at the beginning of the loan period.

True or False?
Compound interest results in higher returns than simple interest over time.
True.
Compound interest results in higher returns than simple interest over time.
State the formula for compound interest.
The formula for compound interest is $F V = P V \times {(1 + \frac{r}{100 k})}^{k n}$
Where:
- $F V$ is future value
- $P V$ is present value
- $n$ is the number of years
- $k$ is the number of compounding periods per year
- $r %$ is the nominal annual rate of interest
This equation is in the exam formula booklet. The financial applications on your GDC can also calculate compound interest without having to use this formula.
What is depreciation?
Depreciation is when the value of something decreases over time.
True or False?
The formula for compound depreciation is the same as for compound interest.
False.
The formula for compound depreciation is similar to the one for compound interest.
For compound depreciation the formula is $F V = P V \times {(1 - \frac{r}{100})}^{n}$
Where:
- $F V$ is future value
- $P V$ is present value
- $n$ is the number of years
- $r %$ is the annual rate of depreciation
This equation is not in the exam formula booklet.
