In this section, we will revisit the connection between mathematics and finance, but from a different perspective. We will see how a slight variation of the Compound interest formula can help us understand some of the core concepts in Finance – Future value and Present value.
future value and present value:
: Future Value
: Present Value
: Annual interest rate
: total time given in years
: number of times compounded in a year, if

Compound daily: |
n = 365 |
Compound monthly: |
n = 12 |
Compound quarterly: |
n = 4 |
Compound semi-annually: |
n = 2 |
Compound annually: |
n = 1 |
