Prerequisite dot points

Establish and use the formula FV = PV(1 + r)ⁿ to find compound interest where FV = future value of the investment, PV = present value of the investment, r = interest rate per time period and n = number of time periods

Stage 5 · Financial mathematics B Draft mapping

Establish and use the formula I = Prn to find simple interest where I =simple interest, P =principal, r =interest rate per time period and n = number of time periods

Stage 5 · Financial mathematics A Draft mapping

Use the compound interest formula to establish the depreciation formula S = V_0(1 - r)ⁿ where S = salvage value, V_0 = initial value of the asset, r = depreciation rate per time period and n = number of periods
