Simple Interest
Interest is the percent of the amount of credit extended. In loans, it may be
treated as an expense on the part of the borrower or debtor and may be viewed
as an income on the part of the lender or creditor. Short-term and long-term
credits or transactions are commonly offered by banks or any credit companies.
Short-credits are credits good for one day or up to one year, while long term
credits are those for longer than one year.

- typically expressed as annual percentage rate (APR)

The world of finance calculates interest in two different ways:


1. Simple Interest
2. Compound Interest

Simple Interest
• A simple interest system primarily applies to short-term financial transactions, with a time frame
of less than one year. In this system, which is explored in this chapter, interest accrues but does
not compound.

Compound Interest
• A compound interest system primarily applies to long-term financial transactions, with a time
frame of one year or more. In this system, which the next chapter explores, interest accrues and
compounds upon previously earned interest.
To compute the simple interest, we use

• I = PRT.

• I = Interest, P= Principal, R= Rate, T= Time

• Principal

• refers to the original sum of money borrowed in a loan or put into an


investment.

Word problem

On October, Carl borrowed an amount of ₱200,000 from PQR Cooperative at an interest rate of 2% to
finance his house renovation. How much is the interest if his due date is October of the following year?

Given

P = P 200,000

R= 2% or .02

T= 1

Word Problem

• On December 2019 , Cacarot borrowed an amount of ₱350,000 from ABC Bank an interest rate
of 5% to finance his capital. How much is the interest if his due date is December of the 2021?

• I = 350,000 x .05 x 2

• I = 35,000

Word problem
• Compute for the interest on a credit purchase of ₱30,000 at 8% for 10 and 15 months.

• Scenario One:

• P = 30,000

• R = .08

• T = 10 (Given months) / 12 (one year in months)

• Scenario Two:

• P = 30,000

• R = .08

• T = 15 (Given months) / 12 (one year in months)

Computation:
