Hello and welcome! In this video we'll be solving basic
[3]
compound interest problems using BA II Plus calculator
[8]
Example 1: What is the future value of six hundred dollars
[12]
invested at 8 percent per annum compounded semiannually
[17]
for four years in six months. To do this we need to use the
[22]
time value of money buttons stated here.
[25]
First let's clear time value of money
[28]
by pressing 2nd clear Time Value of Money
[32]
to clear whatever has been stored in these
[35]
entries. Next we need to set the compounding periods
[39]
per year so we go to 2nd P/Y
[43]
and in this case it's compounded semiannually so we set P/Y to 2
[49]
ENTER, scroll down
[53]
and ensure that C/Y is also said to 2
[56]
The we press 2ND QUIT to leave that mode
[60]
Next we want to input N
[63]
so this investment is made for four years and six months which is 4.5 years
[70]
K so we do 4.5
[73]
times the P/Y
[76]
so P/Y in this question is 2
[80]
so we multiply that by two. We get a 9.
[83]
Basically we will have 9 total
[87]
compounding periods in four and a half years
[90]
interest rates per annum eight-percent
[94]
is entered by pressing I/Y. So we press 8
[99]
I/Y and then present value is six hundred dollars so we put that in
[104]
as 600 present value
[108]
And in this case we don't have payments but because we cleared
[113]
our time value of money we don't need to bother about payments we can just
[117]
move on but if you didn't clear time value of money you have to do
[121]
0 payments to make sure no payment
[125]
is included and then finally you can compute
[129]
future value so the future value is
[132]
853 dollars and ninety nine cents.
[136]
Notice that the future value is negative. This is because we entered a positive
[142]
present value
[143]
Now one of them will be positive. The other will be will be negative because money
[147]
is moving
[148]
in and out. Some people prefer to set P/Y to 1
[152]
so N could be the number of years. So in that case you have something
[157]
like this 2ND P/Y
[161]
set that to 1, ENTER
[164]
scroll down, make sure you set C/Y back to 2
[168]
ENTER, 2ND QUIT
[172]
and then you can set N to four and a half years
[177]
4.5 N, and if you compute future value
[182]
you get exact same result as before.
[185]
Let's look at another example. Example 2
[189]
what is a present value of seven thousand five hundred dollars
[192]
due in nine years if interest is six percent per annum compounded monthly.
[197]
So begin by setting P/Y. 2ND P/Y
[201]
it's compounded monthly so we enter 12, ENTER
[206]
Scroll down you can see that C/Y is automatically set to 12 as well
[211]
2ND QUIT. For N we have nine years,
[214]
compounded monthly, so we have nine times twelve
[218]
total combining periods, that's 108
[221]
N, interest rate is six percent per annum so we press 6
[225]
I/Y. If you did not clear time value of money at the beginning
[230]
just like I didn't you can just do 0 PMT
[233]
and then a future value of 7500 so 7 5 0 0
[238]
future value and then compute
[242]
present value. So the present value is
[246]
4376.50 and like I said before
[251]
some people prefer to set P/Y to 1 so if you want to do that's the 2ND
[255]
P/Y
[256]
1 ENTER scroll down and make sure C/Y is set to 12
[261]
ENTER, 2ND QUIT and then make sure
[266]
N is set to nine years
[269]
and then compute present value
[273]
you get the same result as before. Let's look at one more
[276]
example. Example 3: How many years will it take 300 to grow to $450
[284]
if interest is 4.5 percent compounded quarterly
[288]
So this time you want to find the number of years. We will be computing
[292]
N. So again we start by setting P/Y. 2ND P/Y
[296]
is compounded quarterly so we set the P/Y to four
[299]
ENTER scroll down, ensure that C/Y is also set to 4, 2ND QUIT
[305]
so the interest rate IS 4.5 percent so we have 4.5
[310]
I/Y. The present value is 300
[314]
300 but this time we have to make sure we make one
[318]
of present value or future value negative. So we make the present value
[322]
negative
[325]
K and there is no payment so if you didn't clear time value of money make sure
[329]
do 0 payment
[332]
future value is 450, we input that
[335]
as positive 450 future value
[339]
and then we compute N
[342]
so N is 36.24
[346]
quarters. So it takes 36.24 quarters to grow to 450
[352]
if interest rate is 4.5 percent compounded quarterly.
[356]
But want to find this in years so to do so we just divide
[361]
the N value by P/Y
[364]
P/Y was set to 4 so we just divide this result by four
[369]
divided by four and that's it
[372]
9.06 years. So it takes 9.06 years for $300 to grow to 450 at 4.5 percent compounded
[380]
quarterly
[382]
Again if you prefer to set P/Y to 1
[385]
2ND P/Y 1 ENTER
[389]
scroll down. You have to set C/Y to 4 because it's compounded quarterly
[394]
ENTER. So in in that case if you compute N
[399]
you will just get the number of years
[402]
so I'm going to quit this and compute
[406]
N. There you go. So it give us
[409]
9.06 years. That's basic examples
[413]
in compound interest. Thanks for watching.
