EXAMPLES OF COMPOUND INTEREST are easy to find. If you obtain a loan to purchase a car, interest will be compounded monthly. The advertised interest rates on mortgage loans are semiannually compounded rates. Interest is always compounded in long-term financial planning. So if you wish to take control of your personal financial affairs or to be involved in the financial side of a business, you must thoroughly understand compound interest and its applications. The remainder of this textbook is devoted to the mathematics and applications of compound interest. You will be able to hit the ground running! In Chapters 6 and 7, you learned the concepts of maturity value, time value of money, future value, and present value for the case of simple interest. These ideas transfer to compound interest. Now we just need to develop new mathematics for calculating future value and present value when interest is compounded. And there is good news in this
