Rates of Interest
Where:
i = rate of interest per interest period
r = nominal rate of interest
m = number of compounding periods per year
ER = (1 + i)m – 1
Note: for two or more nominal rates to be equal, their effective rates must be equal.
Cash-Flow Diagrams
A cash-flow diagram is simply a graphical representation of cash flows drawn on a time scale.
Cash-flow diagram for economic analysis problems is analogous to that of free body diagram for
mechanics problems.
