Compounding and Payment Periods Differ

The TVM application assumes that the compounding periods and the payment periods are the same. Some loan installments or savings deposits and withdrawals do not coincide with the bank’s compounding periods. If the payment period differs from the compounding period, adjust the interest rate to match the payment period before solving the problem.

To adjust an interest rate when the compounding period differs from the payment period complete the following steps:

1.Enter the nominal rate and press \Ó. Enter the number of compounding periods in a year and press \Í. Solve for the effective rate by pressing \Ð.

2.Enter the number of payment periods in a year and press \Í. Solve for the adjusted nominal rate by pressing \Ó.
