Future Value and Simple Interest Concepts

Mr. Priscilla introduces the concept of simple interest using the formula I = PRT, where I is the interest, P is the principal, R is the rate, and T is the time in years. He explains how to convert months to years and introduces the future value concept, which is the present value plus interest. The video includes problem-solving examples using these formulas, demonstrating how to calculate interest, principal, rate, and time. The session concludes with a brief break announcement.

What does the 'P' in the simple interest formula I = PRT stand for?

• Period

• Principal

• Percentage

• Profit

In the simple interest formula, what does 'T' represent?

• Time in years

• Transaction fee

• Total amount

• Tax rate

How do you convert 36 months into years for the simple interest formula?

• Multiply by 12

• Subtract 12

• Divide by 12

• Add 12

What is the future value formula derived from the simple interest formula?

• A = I/P

• A = PRT

• A = P(1 + RT)

• A = P + I

If you invest $100 at a 12% interest rate for 2 years, what is the simple interest earned?

• $12

• $36

• $24

• $48

What is the principal amount if the simple interest is $600, the rate is 5%, and the time is 4 years?

• $6,000

• $5,000

• $4,000

• $3,000

How long was the money invested if the interest earned is $2,464, the principal is $7,700, and the rate is 8%?

• 5 years

• 4 years

• 3 years

• 2 years

Using the future value formula, what is the future value of $1,900 invested at 3% for 5 years?

• $2,300

• $2,185

• $2,500

• $2,000

If the future value is $1,944, the rate is 4%, and the time is 2 years, what was the principal amount?

• $1,900

• $1,850

• $1,800

• $1,950
