Many AFM questions are based on calculations related to interest, time value of money, capital budgeting, financial ratios, marginal costing, depreciation, and cost of capital. Learning the right formulas and shortcuts can help you solve numerical questions faster and improve your accuracy in the examination.

Simple interest is calculated on the original principal, whereas compound interest is calculated on the principal along with accumulated interest. Candidates should learn the difference between these methods and practise questions involving different rates and time periods. The following examples will help you understand how to apply the formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important formulas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Simple Interest = (P \u00d7 R \u00d7 T) \/ 100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amount under simple interest = Principal + Simple Interest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compound Amount = P(1 + r)\u207f<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compound Interest = Compound Amount \u2212 Principal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solved examples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Simple interest:<\/strong> If \u20b950,000 is invested at 8% per annum for 3 years, SI = (50,000 \u00d7 8 \u00d7 3) \/ 100 = \u20b912,000. The total amount is \u20b962,000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compound interest:<\/strong> If \u20b91,00,000 is invested at 10% per annum for 2 years, the amount is \u20b91,00,000 \u00d7 (1.10)\u00b2 = \u20b91,21,000. Therefore, CI = \u20b921,000.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Short trick:<\/strong> For two years, compound interest can be calculated using CI = P(2r + r\u00b2), where the rate is expressed as a decimal.

Future value tells you how much an amount invested today may grow to over a given period. Present value tells you the current worth of an amount that will be received in the future.

It is an approximation and is most useful for quick calculations rather than exact results. Candidates can also use it to estimate the annual rate required to double an investment within a given period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Formula:<\/strong> Years to double \u2248 72 \/ Annual interest rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> At an annual interest rate of 9%, the estimated doubling period is 72 \/ 9 = 8 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reverse shortcut:<\/strong> If an investment is expected to double in 6 years, the approximate annual rate is 72 \/ 6 = 12%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/jaiib-free-quizzes\/?ref=contac-nai-jaiib-notes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attempt JAIIB Free Quizzes Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_calculate_the_future_value_and_present_value_of_an_annuity\"><\/span>How do you calculate the future value and present value of an annuity?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An annuity refers to equal payments or receipts made at regular intervals, such as monthly loan instalments or annual investment deposits. The future value of an annuity calculates the accumulated value of these payments at a future date. The present value of an annuity calculates the current worth of the expected payments. These formulas are useful for solving questions related to recurring investments, loan repayments, and financial planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Calculation<\/th><th>Formula<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Future value of an annuity<\/td><td>FV = A \u00d7 [(1 + r)\u207f \u2212 1] \/ r<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Present value of an annuity<\/td><td>PV = A \u00d7 [1 \u2212 (1 + r)\u207b\u207f] \/ r<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>EMI<\/td><td>EMI = P \u00d7 r \u00d7 (1 + r)\u207f \/ [(1 + r)\u207f \u2212 1]<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solved examples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Future value of an annuity:<\/strong> If \u20b910,000 is deposited annually for 3 years at 10%, the future value at the end of the third year is \u20b910,000 \u00d7 3.31 = \u20b933,100, assuming deposits are made at the end of each year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Present value of an annuity:<\/strong> If \u20b910,000 is received annually for 3 years at a 10% discount rate, the present value is approximately \u20b910,000 \u00d7 2.4869 = \u20b924,869.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>EMI calculation:<\/strong> Convert the annual interest rate into a monthly rate and use the total number of monthly instalments in the formula.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Short trick:<\/strong> In EMI questions, always match the interest rate and loan period with the instalment frequency.

Questions from this area may involve Net Present Value (NPV), Profitability Index (PI), Payback Period, and Accounting Rate of Return (ARR). Candidates should learn the formulas as well as the decision rules for accepting or rejecting a project. These concepts are especially useful for numerical questions involving investment costs and future cash flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Concept<\/th><th>Formula<\/th><th>Decision rule or shortcut<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Net Present Value (NPV)<\/td><td>PV of inflows \u2212 PV of outflows<\/td><td>Positive NPV: generally accept<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Profitability Index (PI)<\/td><td>PV of inflows \/ Initial investment<\/td><td>PI above 1: generally accept<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Payback Period<\/td><td>Initial investment \/ Annual cash inflow<\/td><td>Applicable when annual inflows are equal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Accounting Rate of Return (ARR)<\/td><td>Average annual profit \/ Average investment \u00d7 100<\/td><td>Higher ARR is generally preferred<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Average Investment<\/td><td>(Initial investment + Salvage value) \/ 2<\/td><td>Used when the question specifies this method<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solved examples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>NPV:<\/strong> Initial investment = \u20b91,00,000; present value of future inflows = \u20b91,20,000.

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) estimates the order size that balances ordering and carrying costs under specified assumptions.
