章节大纲

  • Clever Carol went to her bank which was offering 12% interest on its savings account. She asked very nicely if instead of having 12% at the end of the year, if she could have 6% after the first 6 months and then another 6% at the end of the year. Carol and the bank talked it over and they realized that while the account would still seem like it was getting 12%, Carol would actually be earning a higher percentage. How much more will Carol earn this way?
    ::Clever Carol去了她的银行,银行在储蓄账户上提供了12%的利息。 她很好地问道,如果不是在年底有12%的利息,而是在年底有12%的利息,如果在头6个月之后她能有6%的利息,然后在年底再有6%的利息。 Carol和银行谈过了,他们意识到,虽然账户看起来仍然有12%的利息,但Carol实际上会得到更高的百分比。Carol这样挣多少钱?

    Compound Interest Per Period of Time
    ::不同时期的复合化合物利息

    Consider a bank that compounds and adds interest to accounts  k times per year. If the original percent offered is 12% then in one year that interest can be compounded:
    ::如果最初提供的百分比是12%,那么在一年之内,利息可以增加:

    • Once, with 12% at the end of the year ( k = 1 )
      ::一次,年底为12%(k=1)
    • Twice (semi-annually), with 6% after the first 6 months and 6% after the last six months ( k = 2 )
      ::两次(每半年两次),头6个月后6%,最后6个月后6%(k=2)
    • Four times (quarterly), with 3% at the end of each 3 months ( k = 4 )
      ::四次(季度),每3个月结束时为3%(k=4)
    • Twelve times (monthly), with 1% at the end of each month ( k = 12 )
      ::12次(每月12次),每月月底为1%(k=12)

    The intervals could even be days, hours or minutes. This is called the length of the compounding period. The number of compounding periods is how often interested is compounded. When intervals become small so does the amount of interest earned in that period, but since the intervals are small there are more of them. This effect means that there is a much greater opportunity for interest to compound.
    ::间隔甚至可以是天数、小时或分钟。 这叫复利期的长度。 复利期的次数是多时的复利期。 当间隔变得小时, 利息的金额也会变小, 但是由于间隔小, 利息的累积机会会更多 。 这意味着利息的复利机会要大得多 。

    Nominal interest is a number that resembles an interest rate , but it really is a sum of compound interest rates. A nominal rate of 12% compounded monthly is really 1% compounded 12 times. The formula for interest compounding  k times per year for  t years at a nominal interest rate i with present value  P V and future value  F V is:
    ::名义利率是一个类似于利率的数字,但实际上是复合利率的总和。 12 % 的名义复计月利率实际是1 % 复倍 12 次 。 t 年的利率以名义利率i 和现值PV 和未来价值FV 以名义利率i 的年利率K乘以K乘以年利率的公式是:

    F V = P V ( 1 + i k ) k t
    ::FV=PV(1+ik)kt

    As with and compound interest, the nominal rate of interest is represented with the letter i  in this formula, but the resulting rate is computed differently. A nominal rate of 12% may actually yield more than 12%.
    ::与复利和复利一样,名义利率在本公式中以字母i表示,但所产生的利率计算方式不同。 12%的名义利率可能实际收益超过12%。

    Let's apply the formula above to an investment of $300 at a rate of 12% compounded monthly. If you wanted to know the amount of money the person would have after 4 years, you would take the following steps:
    ::让我们对300美元的投资应用上面的公式,每月12 % 的复数。如果你想了解此人四年后会有多少钱,你将采取以下步骤:

    F V = ? ,   P V = 300 ,   t = 4 ,   k = 12 ,   i = 0.12
    ::FV=? PV=300, t=4, k=12, i=0.12

    F V = P V ( 1 + i k ) k t = 300 ( 1 + 0.12 12 ) 12 4 483.67
    ::FV=PV(1+ik)kt=300(1+0.121212)124483.67

    Note: A very common mistake when typing the values into a calculator is using an exponent of 12 and then multiplying the whole quantity by 4 instead of using an exponent of ( 12 4 ) = 48 .
    ::注:在将数值输入计算器时,一个非常常见的错误是使用12的指数,然后将整个数量乘以4,而不是使用12+4=48的指数。

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked about Clever Carol and the difference in amount of money she would have if her interest was compounded once a year versus twice a year. If Clever Carol earned the 12% at the end of the year she would earn $12 in interest in the first year. If she compounds it  k = 2 times per year then she will end up earning:
    ::早些时候,有人问起你Cleever Carol的情况,如果她每年的利息增加一次,而每年的利息增加两次,她会有多少钱。如果Clever Carol在年底赚到12%的利息,她第一年就能赚到12美元的利息。如果她每年加起来K=2次,她最终会挣到收入:

    F V = P V ( 1 + i k ) k t = 100 ( 1 + .12 2 ) 2 1 = $ 112.36

    How many years will Matt need to invest his money at 6% compounded daily  ( k = 365 ) if he wants his $3,000 to grow to $5,000?

    F V = 5 , 000 ,   P V = 3 , 000 ,   k = 365 ,   i = 0.06 ,   t = ?
