In this section will look at time deposit
[8]
accounts and inflation. Another type of account that pays interest is called a
[16]
certificate of deposit. The good positives for a CD is generally they're
[26]
issued from a bank that has the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation backing in
[32]
the event that the institution goes out of business you will get your money out of
[37]
that. They do pay a higher interest rate than a regular savings account or
[42]
an interest bearing checking. Part of a certificate of deposits'
[50]
requirement is that the money needs to be in the account for a designated amount
[56]
of time. And it can be as short as perhaps 3 months and as long as 5
[60]
years or even longer.
[61]
The downside is it does require a minimum deposit. The bank is counting on this
[67]
money being there, a substantial amount of money being there so that they can in
[72]
turn then use it to make money on your money. And should you need this money and
[80]
withdraw before the maturity date it is subject to a penalty which is typically
[87]
the last interest or so that's earned. Here's a table of some CD rates being
[95]
paid currently we can see here we have 3 months at $500 is earning
[101]
1/10 of 1%. If we drop down we can get a .35% for a
[110]
2 year CD but a $10,000 minimum deposit needs to be made. And here at the
[115]
bottom to get a 1.25% interest rate you need to sign up for a 5 year
[122]
deposit of $10,000 or more.
[128]
Compound interest table for longer periods we will look at daily
[133]
compounding for more than just 1 day up to 90 days. And we need a table for
[142]
that we can always use the formula but the table saves a little bit a of time
[146]
and here we have a table showing the number of years and the interest rates
[151]
for the compounded daily. In this example W.C. wants to deposit $4,000 his account
[160]
is paying 5% compounded daily certainly not something that's happening
[164]
for us currently. And the question is should he leave it in there for 2 or
[170]
3 years? So we will determine what that value is for both of those
[176]
possibilities. Using the compound interest for time deposit accounts
[183]
compounded daily we'll look up two years and corresponding with 5% here's our
[191]
multiplier. We'll times that by $4000 and see that the account has
[197]
grown to $4420.65. If the money is in there for another year tied
[206]
up can you stand to not have access to that money versus the gain in this
[215]
account. And we're talking a little over $200 additional interest is earned by
[221]
having it in there in three years. And this is a decision you need to make when
[227]
you're taking out a certificate of deposit. Know that you don't want to put
[232]
money into an account for 2 or 3 or 5 years whatever the case may be
[237]
that it's your emergency money that you may need to pull it out.
[243]
It's much better that you know you won't be replacing the car you have emergency
[248]
funds available to you and so that you won't be cashing out. Not that it's the
[252]
worst thing in the world but
[254]
you should go with shorter lengths of time and sacrifice your interest rate to
[260]
avoid having to cash out early and paying a penalty. The other topic in this
[266]
section is dealing with the consumer price index which is a measure of our inflation.
[272]
An inflation is a rise in general price levels of goods and
[281]
services. And we can illustrate here what inflation actually does. In 1950, if you
[291]
had $100,000 today or at least in 2015 you would need almost a million dollars
[302]
to have the same purchasing power that you did in 1950, sixty-five
[308]
years later. The measure of inflation here in the United States is called
[314]
the consumer price index and it's based on a series of standard goods and
[321]
services. It's a common bundle that they calculate from one year to the next. What
[326]
is your electricity bill and certain groceries and commuting and so on. And
[333]
just for your information here, last year 2015 for the 12 months running the United
[343]
States inflation rate was 0.7%. So let's take a look at
[350]
what happens when we have a current income and there's no raise but we have
[359]
an inflation or consumer price index increase of 4%. If that was the case,
[369]
this individual would have to have instead of $23,000 they would have to have $23,920
[374]
to have the same buying power because of that 4% inflation
[381]
factor. And where is the $920 coming from? If you take the current salary times
[389]
the inflation factor of 4% as a decimal times one year that means we
[395]
have an increase of $920. So what if you didn't get that corresponding 4% raise?
[404]
It means you will need to trim $920 out of your current budget so that you can
[413]
stay status quo and not be short on being able to pay your expenses and live
[422]
at the standard that you previously were. If we have a current income of $23,000
[431]
and we saw a 4% consumer price index we know we need $920. But what if, you
[441]
received a 2.4% raise? Well it's not what you need to keep up with inflation but at least
[448]
you're not as far behind. And that $23,552 comes from taking the beginning
[462]
salary $23,000 times the wage increase of 2.4%, expressed as a decimal
[470]
for a year is $552. So if someone received a 2.4% raise its better than no raise but
[479]
it's still not keeping up with the inflation rate for that year. And so if we
[484]
look at what the 4% does compared to the 2.4% raise there's still $368 drop in
[494]
buying power. To keep your level of lifestyle the same you would need to cut
[503]
$368 worth of expenditures to maintain your status quo.
[508]
Here we have another example, someone has $1,800 in a savings account for
[517]
1 year that pays 3.5% interest compounded daily. What is the loss or
[521]
gain in purchasing power if the consumer price index went up 3.9%? We can see
[527]
right now the interest is not high enough keeping up with the inflation
[534]
factor here so there will be a loss but let's calculate it out. We have another
[539]
table for 3.5% interest compounded daily only expressed
[544]
in quarters and one year would be four quarters. So here we have a multiplier we
[551]
will find the maturity value of that $1,800 times 4 quarters which would
[557]
be the one year for the 3.5% interest compounded daily. So
[562]
after one year the balance in this account would have this value (1863.22) and if we
[569]
subtract off that principle of $1,800 it has made $63.22 in interest in the
[579]
past year. What is the result or the impact of the inflation factor 3.9%
[587]
on our $1800? We'll take 1800 times .039 the decimal equivalency of
[595]
3.9%
[597]
and we see that the gain to have still the same buying power of the $1800 needed to
[604]
have an increase of $70.20. We can take the difference right here between the
[614]
interest gained and what the inflation factor or the buying power now of $1800 is a
[619]
year later. Or we can compare the inflation value of our $1,800 compared
[628]
to putting it in a savings account. Either way the difference between those
[633]
2 is a loss of almost $7 in buying power.
