F = 15,000
P = 10,000
t = 10
m=2
Example 4:
At what interest rate compounded
quarterly will money double itself in
10 years?
Definition of terms
i = 0.10
m
m=4
When solving for an
equivalent rate j, six or
more decimal places are
recommended.
Example 6:
Seatwork 1:
(a) F = 2,000, P = 1,750, m = 2,
t = 4, j = ?, i(m) = ?
(b) F = 100,000, P = 10,000,
t = 8, money is compounded monthly,
i = ?, j = ?

Seatwork 3:
(a) What is the nominal rate of interest if
P4,000 accumulates to P10,000 in 8 years with
interest
compounded quarterly?
(b) At what nominal rate compounded semi-
annually will P5000 amount to P6000 in 2

accumulate to P20,000 when deposited in a
savings
account that earns 0.250% compounded
monthly?
(e) How long will a principal double when
invested at 10% compounded semi-annually?
