BA II Plus - Nominal & Effective Rate Conversions - YouTube

hello and welcome in this video I will
[3]
be talking about interest conversions
[5]
using the BA to plus calculator I'm
[8]
Joshua Emmanuel we know that interest
[11]
rates could be compounded annually
[13]
semi-annually quarterly monthly or even
[16]
daily the purpose of this video is to
[19]
show how to convert among these
[21]
different component frequencies using
[23]
the BA to plus calculator the interest
[26]
conversion worksheet on the BA 2 plus
[28]
calculator converts interest rates
[31]
between nominal rate and effective
[33]
annual rate the nominal rate is
[36]
basically the interest rate not
[39]
compounded annually it's also known as
[41]
the annual percentage rate APR the
[46]
effective annual rate simply implies
[48]
annual compounding that is once a year
[51]
the three variables used on the interest
[54]
conversion worksheet can be found by
[56]
pressing second icon that is interest
[61]
conversion on the br-2 plus calculator
[64]
so the three variables are nominal and
[68]
no M if we scroll up see Y which is the
[72]
compounding frequency per year and then
[75]
if you scroll up again effective which
[77]
is the effective annual interest rate
[80]
since there are only three variables to
[83]
navigate through them is pretty
[84]
straightforward pressing the up arrow
[87]
once is equivalent to pressing the down
[89]
arrow twice and vice versa so if I press
[93]
the up arrow once here it goes straight
[95]
to nominal if I press the down arrow
[98]
twice it goes to see Y here if I go
[102]
again to nominal and I press the up
[105]
arrow once it goes back to see why next
[110]
we'll look at a few examples let us
[114]
calculate the effective annual rate
[116]
which simply means that interest rate is
[119]
compounded once a year in this example
[122]
we will calculate the effective annual
[124]
rate for 10% compounded semi-annually
[129]
press 2nd icon
[133]
it shows nominal enter 10 press the
[140]
enter button scroll up see why Semyon
[146]
only means is compounded twice a year so
[149]
press C y equals to enter scroll up
[154]
again and compute effective this shows
[159]
us that 10% compounded semi-annually is
[162]
equivalent to 10.25%
[166]
effective annual interest rate or 10.25%
[170]
compounded annually finding nominal
[175]
annual interest rates given effective
[179]
rate in this example given an effective
[183]
rate of 8.6 percent we want to find the
[186]
nominal rate compounded monthly and then
[189]
compounded quarterly so start by going
[192]
to second interest conversion since we
[196]
have the effective rate we have to
[198]
scroll up to effective or like I said
[203]
you can just scroll down once and then
[206]
you'll be in the effective input mode
[209]
enter the effective rate 8.6 enter
[217]
scroll down see Y is 12 for monthly
[223]
compounding enter scroll down and
[227]
compute nominal so an effective annual
[231]
rate of 8.6 percent is equivalent to
[234]
eight point two seven eight five percent
[238]
compounded monthly if you want to find
[240]
the nominal rates compounded quarterly
[243]
scroll up change cy2 for four enter
[251]
scroll back down and compute nominal so
[256]
8.6 percent compounded annually is
[259]
equivalent to eight point three three
[261]
five eight compounded quarterly five
[267]
equivalent rates in this example we want
[271]
to convert interest rate from one
[273]
compounding frequency to another in this
[277]
case we want to find the nominal
[279]
interest rate compounded monthly that is
[282]
equivalent to 7.5% compounded
[285]
semi-annually so we'll press 2nd icon a
[290]
nominal rate is 7.5 enter scroll up
[298]
change C y2 - because it's compounded
[301]
semi-annually enter scroll up again
[306]
compute effective so this is the
[311]
effective rate for 7.5% compounded
[316]
semi-annually but we want the monthly
[318]
compounding rate so we scroll back down
[321]
and change our Cy to 12 enter scroll
[328]
down again and computes nominal so 7.5
[335]
percent compounded semi-annually is
[337]
equivalent to seven point three eight
[340]
five 4% compounded monthly and that's
[345]
how to use the br-2 plus calculator for
[348]
interest conversions thank you
