Interest: The interest on a loan is the time value of money (the cost of the non-availability in time of that money)

C = Capital M = Amount I = Interest VP = Present Value VF = Future Value

financial-math-concepts

A capital deposited on day 0 generates interest over time, the sum of these values ​​results in the amount.

VP + I = VF M = C + I Present Value = Present Value Nominal Value = Future Value

Effective Interest Rate:

(i) It is the interest that a monetary unit generates during a unit of time

Discount Effective Rate

(d) It is the discount made for advancing a monetary unit one unit of time

Simple interest

Generates interest in any unit of time whatever it is

(i) Simple interest rate

Compound interest

It generates interest for a unit of time, it is the value of the placement at the beginning of each unit of time that is being analyzed that generates interest, it is in this way that the capitalization of interest occurs. At the end of each period, interest is part of the capital.

Simple Commercial Discount

The effective discount rate is applied for each unit of time (whatever it may be) over time "N"

Composite Trade Discount

The effective discount rate is applied to the final value of each unit of time that you want to go back.

Simple Rational Discount

The effective discount rate is applied for each unit of time, regardless of the value at that moment.

Rational Compound Discount

The effective rate is applied to the value of the beginning of the time unit that you want to go back.

Rate Equivalence

It is said that two rates are equivalent when the same present values ​​after the same amount of time are transformed into equal future values ​​where they have two characteristics 1) between the different rates involved in a single calculation formula 2) between the rates corresponding to different formulas calculation of interest or discount.

At equal present values ​​with equal times the rates are equal

Types of Fees

Simple Interest Rate

It is the one that at the end of a period is applied only to the initial capital, constant capital during the time of the financial operation, as well as the interest accrued at the end of each period (accrued is what happens in each period)

Compound Interest Rate

It is the interest rate that at the end of each period is applied both to the previous capital and to the interest accrued at the end of that period. This is equivalent to saying that it is the operation where interest generates interest, through the capitalization system.

Effective Rate

It is the interest rate that is actually applied in the compounding period on a principal to calculate the interest.

The effective interest rate is identified because only the numerical part appears followed by the period of capitalization or interest settlement.

For example, an interest rate of 3% is said, monthly 9%, quarterly 15%, semi-annual or 32%, annually but they are not equivalent

Nominal Interest Rate

It is the interest rate that, expressed annually, capitalizes several times a year, for that reason the nominal rate does not reflect the reality in terms of interest accrued annually and hence its name.

Unlike the effective rate that does indicate the true interest accrued by a capital at the end of the respective period.

However, in most financial operations the nominal rate is used to express the interest rate that must be paid or charged in that operation. This implies that to perform the financial operations calculations, the first thing to do is convert this nominal rate to the effective rate in each capitalization period because, as already noted, we must only use the effective rate per period.

Inflation Impact on Rates

Inflation: It is the sustained increase in prices

The effective rate of inflation is the growth suffered by the price of a certain basket of goods and services expressed as per 1 during a unit of time.

Real Interest Rate

There are two parts: the expected inflation rate (h) and the rate that rewards the sacrifice of not having the money for a certain period of time.

(i) Effective interest rate at which the loan is made

(h) Expected effective inflation

rate (r) Real effective rate

Income

It is a set of benefits with different maturities, each of which are called terms or rent quota. We can also define it as a succession of payments or collections maturing at equidistant times or regular intervals, the period as an interval of time that mediates between two consecutive payments.

The duration of a rental is the number or amount of terms or installments.

• Certain income _ All elements are known in advance

• Random or contingent rents _ May vary according to circumstances that cannot be controlled in advance

At each instant in the timeline, a Real No. is assigned called (t)

For the income calculations, business days and business year are used 30 days a month and 360 days a year.

Value of a Rent

It is a monetary figure of relative magnitude that acquires its true meaning when it is referred to a certain instant of time. For example, saying $ 100 does not make sense if it is not specified when that figure may be available, today, tomorrow, or in a year.

Two figures expressed at different times are heterogeneous in financial terms, not comparable to themselves unless a functional rule is taken that allows defining an equivalence relation in such a way as to homogenize those figures.

The rule is none other than the compound interest formula

The value of an income will be a series of benefits, a number of monetary units in an instant of time (t) equidistant in financial terms to the set of payments that make up that income.

Constant Income

Rent at time t with interest i is the sum of all the installments from 1 to n carried at time t

It is the sum of k = 1 to k = n of Ck (t, i)

Investment

It is a process that consists of the application of funds generally associated with obtaining assets in order to obtain a benefit, not necessarily economic, that compensates the sacrifice imposed by the availability of the invested funds.

The presence of funds is an essential requirement, a time and a flow of payments or funds that are located at different instants of time. They can be bonds, machinery, renovation and replacement, investment for expansion, etc.

It can be public or private, legal or physical.

What is sought is to be able to value different investments.

NPV = Net present value (net = income - costs = net income)

NPV = Net Present Value

IRR = Rate of Return or Internal Rate of Return

NPV = Average Net Present Value

TCC = capital cost rate = i

NPV Net Present Value

We will call the NPV of the investment the amount of money equivalent in financial terms to the set of payments or collections that represent the set of investment funds. (equivalents for the capital collection rate) said NPV is calculated at the time of the initial disbursement or zero point.

IRR Internal Rate of Return

At the discretion of the VPN option to invest will be decided according to the present value of revenues minus cash outflows updated rate Capital costs

The method of calculating that rate reproduce funds invested and then analyze if that rate is or not enough to consider the investment convenient

The rate of return or IRR of an investment is called the rate at which the NPV of an investment becomes 0, the rate is defined as effective in the period in which the net income is defined, and it is convenient to invest to the extent that the The rates offered by the investment (R) exceed the TCC (i) both defined in the same unit of time.

It is the rate at which the present value of the receipts is equated with the present value of the payments.
