Multiple Compounding Periods

 Interest factor formulas assume that the cash


flow period and the compounding period match.
Interest rate used must be for this common
period.
– EOY cash flows and interest compounded annually;
use annual interest rate
– Quarterly cash flows and interest compounded
quarterly; use quarterly interest rate
– Monthly cash flows and interest compounded
monthly; use monthly interest rate

Nominal Interest Rate
 Nominal interest rate/year: the annual interest rate
w/o considering the effect of any compounding during
the year.
– 12%/year
 Interest rate/period =
Nominal interest rate/year
Number of compounding or interest periods/year

– Monthly compounding - (12%/year)/(12 months/year) =


1%/month
– Quarterly compounding - (12%/year)/(4 quarters/year) =
3%/quarter
– Annual compounding - (12%/year)/(1 year/year) = 12%/year

Example 2.19—Determining Car
Payments
Rebecca Carlson purchases a car for $25,000 and
finances her purchase by borrowing the money at 8% per
year compounded monthly; she pays off the loan with
equal monthly payments for 5 years. What will be the size
of her monthly loan payment?
Given: P = $25,000; nominal annual interest rate =
8%/year; duration of loan = 5 years; number of interest
periods/year = 12 months/year
Find: Period interest rate; number of interest periods; A

Effective Annual Interest Rate

The effective annual interest rate is given by the


formula:
ieff   1  r / m   1  EFFECT  r , m 
m

where r = nominal annual interest rate


m = number of compounding or interest periods per year

Example 2.20—Calculating the
Effective Annual Interest Rate

Calculate the effective annual interest rate


for each of the following cases:
(a) 12% per year compounded quarterly
(b) 12% per year compounded monthly
(c) 12% per year compounded every minute

Example 2.20—Calculating the Effective
Annual Interest Rate (cont.)

a. Twelve percent per year compounded quarterly: r = 12%; m = 4.


ieff = (1 + 0.12/4)4 – 1
= (1.03)4 – 1
= 0.12551 = 12.551%
b. Twelve percent per year compounded monthly: r = 12%; m = 12.
ieff = (1 + 0.12/12)12 – 1
= (1.01)12 – 1
= 0.12683 = 12.683%
c. Twelve percent per year compounded every minute: r = 12%; m =
525,600 minutes.
=  1  0.12/525, 600

= 0.12749684 = 12.749684%
