Nominal and effective
Understand nominal and effective interest rate statements.
Effective annual interest rate
Derive and use the formula for the effective annual interest rate.
Effective interest rate
Determine the effective interest rate for any time period.
Compare PP and CP
Determine the correct method for equivalence calculations for different payment and compounding periods.
Single amounts: PP >= CP
Make equivalence calculations for payment periods equal to or longer than the compounding period when only single amounts occur.
Series: PP >= CP
Make equivalence calculations when uniform or gradient series occur for payment periods equal to or longer than the compounding period.
Single and series: PP < CP
Make equivalence calculations for payment periods shorter than the compounding period.
Continuous compounding
Calculate and use an effective interest rate for continuous compounding.
Varying rates
Account for interest rates that vary over time when performing equivalency computations.
