Savings Banking & Finance
Why Do Customers Save? • Define savings goals • Explain how interest is earned
Savings: portion of income that is not spent. Short-Term Savings Goals Long Term Savings Goals > year to accomplish Ex: buying a house, retiring, paying for college Higher interest rates more important Liquidity not as important • < year to accomplish • For products that are safe and don’t charge fees • Liquidity: ability of a financial asset to be quickly converted to cash • Interest: amount charged to borrow money
Interest Earned • Banks used customer’s deposit (transfer of money into the bank) to earn more money for itself • Initial deposit (principal) earns interest • Compound interest: interest paid on interest. • Uses accrued interest (amount added to the principal at regular time periods) • APY—Annual Percentage Yield: Rate of return on investment for 1 year
Calculating Interest Year One $500 (initial deposit) + $25 (5% interest earned after one year) = $525 (balance after one year) Year Two $525 (principal + accrued interest) + $26.25 (5% interest earned after one year) = $551.25 [$500 (principal) + $51.25 (accrued interest)] - $500 (initial deposit) = $51.25 (interest earned after two years at 5%)
Compound Interest Without making any additional deposits, the customer’s money grows significantly. F = P(1+r)t F = final amount P = principal r = rate of interest t = # of times compounded
