Compound Interest
Lesson 3.5
Agree or Disagree ?
• A bank account that pays 12% per year yields the same results as a bank account that pays 1% every month and compounds interest.
Nominal vs. Effective Rate
• Nominal rate The stated yearly rate "12% compounded monthly"
• Effective rate The result of the compounding 12% compounded monthly actually gives a
12.683% return on your investment
Compound Interest Formula
• Actually we saw this in the previous lesson
• Here r = the nominal rate
Then is the decimal for the effective rate

Periodic vs. Continuous
• The k in the continuous model will always be similar or close to the r value in the periodic compounding model
• Generally r must be slightly larger because there are "less" compounding periods per year
• Example Convert B = P e .05t to periodic Convert 7.25% compounded monthly to
continuous form
