Example 7 Scenario  

This example is based on the facts in Example 6. See entire scenario below for full version.

 

In the previous example:

The credit supply agreement said there wasn't any compound interest.

 

In this example:

Interest is to be compounded daily.

 

Demonstrated Features

He's given a lot of business over the years and has always paid up eventually, but the account has lost too much control now.

 

The credit supply agreement says that interest may be charged daily at a static interest rate of 7.5% per annum.

 

It also says that if the customer's account goes into credit (i.e. the store owes the customer) then no interest is payable to the customer.

 

Interest is compounded daily.

 

Payments are allocated to the best benefit of the store (i.e. the creditor).

 

We wish to calculate interest as at 21 September 2007.

 

Calculation Results

The results generated by the program are shown below.

 


Calculation Result

Example 7

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Calculated interest on transactions, starting with principal of nine hundred and fifty dollars and five cents ($950.05), for the period 16/07/2004 to 21/09/2007 inclusive, a period of 1139 days.

 

 

This paragraph tells you how much interest was calculated.
However there is no interest left at the end of the calculation because it has been converted to principal.

 

 

Total interest is one thousand and thirty dollars and ninety-five cents ($1,030.95).

 

As at 21/09/2007 the total amount owing is seven thousand seven hundred and thirty-five dollars and thirty cents ($7,735.30) comprised entirely of principal of seven thousand seven hundred and thirty-five dollars and thirty cents ($7,735.30).

 

 

This paragraph reminds you that where interest is calculated and compounded daily, there is no balance of interest at the end.
This is because all interest has been converted to principal.

 

 

Interest compounds (i.e. calculated and converted to principal) daily. The amount will change as principal changes. Principal continues to accumulate by the amount of each day's compound interest.

PARTICULARS OF INTEREST

 

(a) On 16/07/2004 the opening principal was $950.05, the interest rate on debit balances was 7.5% per annum, the interest rate on credit balances was nil (0.0%), and the days per year base used to convert the annual interest rates into daily interest rates was 366.

 

(b) Debits and Credits are each applied to non-principal then to interest then to principal.

 

(c) Calculated interest on 31/12/2004 because it was the last day before the days per year base changed (from 366 to 365) on 01/01/2005. Daily compounding of interest from 16/07/2004 to 31/12/2004 inclusive at 7.5% per annum (interest rate) ÷ 366 (days per year) percent per day for 169 days amounted to $33.71.

 

 

The following two paragraphs explain a compound interest calculation step.
It gives the  formula but the mentions that there has been some rounding.
The rounding is the direct result of one of the calculation options. You could also have said no rounding, or other alternatives.
The formula shows every parameter including number of days in the period.

 

 

(d) $33.71 (interest) equals $950.05 (principal as at 16/07/2004) x (((1.0+((7.5%/100)/366))^169)-1.0) except that it is adjusted each day by rounding to whole cents.

(g) Calculated interest on 23/01/2005 because it was the last day before the balance of principal changed on 24/01/2005. Daily compounding of interest from 01/01/2005 to 23/01/2005 inclusive at 7.5% per annum (interest rate) ÷ 365 (days per year) percent per day for 23 days amounted to $4.60.
