Interest Earned
• Banks used customer’s deposit (transfer of money into the bank) to earn more money for itself
• Initial deposit (principal) earns interest
• Compound interest: interest paid on interest.
• Uses accrued interest (amount added to the principal at regular time periods)
• APY—Annual Percentage Yield: Rate of return on investment for 1 year
Calculating Interest
Year One
$500 (initial deposit) + $25 (5% interest earned after one year) = $525 (balance after one year)
Year Two
$525 (principal + accrued interest) + $26.25 (5% interest earned after one year) = $551.25
[$500 (principal) + $51.25 (accrued interest)] - $500 (initial deposit) = $51.25 (interest earned after two years at 5%)
Compound Interest
F = P(1+r)t
F = final amountP = principalr = rate of interestt = # of times compounded
Without making any additional deposits, the customer’s money grows significantly.
