Interest-bearing bank accounts dealing with compound interest. The first
[12]
objective will be looking at the different types of interest bearing
[15]
accounts. We have regular savings accounts this is generally the type of
[21]
savings accounts were introduced to as a child.
[24]
They are easy to use, the positive is that they're liquid which means you deposit money
[30]
today you can take that money out tomorrow. There's no time restriction on
[34]
it. Because they're found at a bank
[39]
most banks are FDIC which stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In
[47]
the event that the bank should go out of business
[51]
the FDIC insurance kicks in and will give you your money up to $250,000. The
[61]
downside is they are very low interest rates. And here's a table from a bank
[68]
showing what a regular savings account is requiring there be $100 in the
[75]
savings account. And they're earning one tenth of one percent interest rate
[80]
on it. So not very high at all but again some of those other pluses outweigh the
[87]
interest being paid. We also have checking accounts that will pay interest
[92]
which is definitely a plus provided you have a balance in your account. And this
[100]
may or may not be a positive but to earn the interest you need to carry a
[105]
minimum balance. When that minimum balance isn't maintained and there could be a fee
[111]
assessed. So be sure when you are looking at opening up a new checking account
[116]
that you check into the options and what seems to fit your financial situation.
[125]
So let's look at how we compute daily interest. Sometimes we will have interest
[133]
savings accounts that pay compound interest daily. We'll see them
[139]
in savings accounts, passbook savings, or checking accounts that pay interest as
[144]
well. We can use the formula that we use for compound interest that we saw
[150]
previously. And here is an example if we have $500 at 4% compounded
[158]
daily for 3 years this is what the formula would look like.
[163]
Here's our principal times the quanity one plus our interest rate as a decimal divided by
[170]
the compounding period which is daily. So we use 365 days raised to the "n" the number of
[176]
compounding periods 3 years at 365 per year which results in the amount of
[184]
$563.74. Or we can use a table, on the table we would look at something that is
[194]
set up for compounded daily and then the interest rate that the account is paying.
[199]
Similar to compound interest tables that we've seen in previous sections we'll
[204]
pull that value from the table which replaces the quantity that's shaded here
[211]
in our compound interest formula. But leaves us with multiplying that value by
[219]
the principal amount to give us our answer. Here's an example of a compound
[226]
interest table for daily frequency and it's set at a 3.5% interest
[237]
rate. Very similar to the table that we've seen before the columns in blue
[243]
are the number of days and adjacent to it is the value that we will use to
[248]
replace this portion of our compound interest formula.
[254]
So here we have an example set aside $5,500 in his savings account earning
[259]
3.5% interest compounded daily for 50 days. How much interest will
[264]
be earned?
[265]
We could use our formula or using this table we need to make sure that we're
[270]
using the appropriate table. This is set for 3.5% interest and compounded
[277]
daily which is the case for this problem. So our next step will be to find the
[285]
number that corresponds with 50 days. Here on the third column of 'Number of Days'
[294]
we find 50 the number adjacent to it will replace this portion of our
[300]
compound interest formula. Which leaves us only to take the principal times
[306]
that value to give us the total amount in the account after 50 days. Let's look
[315]
at another one, $3200 dollars is invested in a savings account earning 3.5%
[321]
interest compounded daily for 85 days. How much interest will be earned?
[326]
We're still dealing with compounded daily at 3.5%, so we use this table we're going to
[333]
locate where 85 is with our multiplier. Multiplying our deposit by that value from
[341]
the table gives us our total amount in the account after 85 days. But the
[346]
problem is asking how much interest is earned. We will take our balance at 85
[352]
days and subtract the initial deposit to determine the amount of
[357]
interest that's earned in the account. Let's take a look at maybe a more
[364]
practical problem in the sense that deposits are added periodically and
[371]
we're interested in what amount would be after a certain amount of time or maybe
[377]
we have withdraws taken. So in this first sample problem we're going to use the 3.5%
[382]
interest compounded daily. On January 1, this bank was opened and
[388]
the amount of $8,756 was deposited, in February another amount and in March a third
[398]
amount was deposited. And the question is asking, what is the balance on March
[403]
31 and ultimately what is the interest earned? So we're going to take this
[409]
as though it were three separate problems. Here we have our timeline we need to
[414]
know how many days this first deposit is going to be in there. If nothing else
[420]
happened in this account on January 1 this amount was deposited and we're
[425]
interested in how much money that accrued due to compound interest being
[434]
paid daily on March 31. Well if we do the calendar math there are 90 days
[443]
between March 31 and January 1. So we'll use our table with the 3.5%
[448]
interest for compounded daily, we'll find our multiplier
[453]
that is associated with the 90 days and multiply that initial
[459]
deposit. So this would be the balance after the 90 days for just that first
[464]
deposit. Then we'll go to the February 11th deposit this money is
[471]
sitting in here from February 11 until March 31 it too will be accumulating
[478]
interest but only from February 11 until March 31, which is 48 days. To
[485]
calculate the interest earned on that amount we will look up 48 days on our
[492]
table, which this is our multiplier times it by that
[496]
deposit that's only sitting in the account for 48 days and we have the
[501]
ending balance. The last step here is looking at how long is the March 21st
[509]
deposit of $650 in the account and earning interest. Well March 21 to
[515]
March 31 is 10 days. The interest earned on that account and the
[523]
ending balance for that deposit is this multiplier times 650. Now if we add these
[530]
3 values together it will give us the balance from these 3 separate
[535]
deposits on these different dates. That answers the first question. To determine
[542]
the amount of interest we need to take this balance and subtract off those
[549]
principal deposits that were made through the course of this 90
[554]
period. So here's what that would look like we take our balance after the
[561]
90 days
[562]
subtract each of those three. And here we're showing that they added those 3
[568]
principal deposits and then subtracted that quantity from the balance as of
[575]
March 31. The result is an earning of $80.82. Here's another example where we
[583]
have some withdraws that are occurring, so let's take a look at this one. On
[588]
April 1 MVP Sports opened a savings account with a deposit of $17,500. A
[595]
withdrawal of $5000 was made 21 days later, and another withdrawal of $980 was made 12 days
[601]
before July 1. Find the balance on July 1. To solve a problem with a
[608]
withdrawal we kind of reverse our thinking a little bit to calculate this. On 21 days
[617]
past this initial deposit $5000 was withdrawn. Which means that $5,000 sat
[624]
there for the first 21 days before it was moved or withdrawn and it was
[629]
earning interest. We have another withdrawn made 12 days before July 1st.
[636]
Doing some calculation that means that this $980 sat in there from April 1
[643]
until 12 days before July 1. Which would apparently if we do that
[650]
calculation July 1 is 182nd day of the year, 12 days before that is 170th day.
[657]
April 1 is the 91st in the difference between the 170th
[664]
and 91st is 79 days.
[666]
So this $980 before it was withdrawn was compounding interest every day for 79
[673]
days. What stayed in the account the entire period from April 1 to July 1 is
[684]
the difference between the initial deposit and these two withdrawals. So if
[691]
you take that initial deposit and subtract the two
[694]
withdraws that were made this means there was this amount of money that was
[701]
left in the account for that time period from April 1 to July 1. We then need
[709]
to calculate what the balance is for each one of these three values: $5,000
[716]
times we'll look up the number from our table associated with 3.5%
[720]
interest compounded daily for 21 days this is what this would have grown
[726]
to. For $980 sitting in their 79 days we find the
[731]
multiplier and the multiplier associated with 91 days, which is actually below the
[738]
table in a little note there's where you'll find your multiplier for that.
[743]
These then are what the balances are for these accounts with their interest. We're
[752]
almost done, what we need to do is add the 3 up but recognize we did withdraw the
[759]
$5,000 and the $980 which gives us an ending amount of $11,638.49. You could
[769]
have subtracted your $5000 off from here to get a $10.08 interest
[775]
earning on that amount sitting for 21 days before the withdrawal. And if we
[780]
take our $980 withdrawal away from here it means it earned $7.45. We could have
[788]
added the interest from these two onto here and still arrived at that same value.
